Great taste, freshness and quality are what we look for in local Minnesota-grown foods—and local foods promote landscape protection and vital rural economies. The Minnesota Project has convened a broad dialogue process to unite efforts to increase the availability of sustainably produced local foods, called The Heartland Food Network.
The Heartland Food Network, formerly the Heartland Food Initiative, is a network, facilitated by the Minnesota Project, that encourages the purchasing of local, sustainable or organic foods. This commitment will be made visible in an emblem displayed at supporting food service establishments. The Minnesota Project, through this Network, is creating new prototypes to connect purchasers with producers and to increase the availability and variety of local, sustainable or organic foods through more traditional distribution systems.
