Georgia Producers’ Task Force
Mission
Increase the supply of local and sustainable products available to the Georgia foodservice industry through efficient and fluid distribution channels.
Scope
The Task Force is focused on educating and promoting legislative change with the result of increasing supply and reducing the frustration restaurants and chefs experience while procuring locally grown organic and sustainable products.
Activities
- Research: Identify the specific roadblocks to increasing supply. Categorize roadblocks as economic, regulatory or legislative. Evaluate successful programs other states have implemented to address supply and distribution.
- Education: Familiarize the public, key legislators, and partners about the positive impact of supporting Georgia’s organic/sustainable farmers and the chefs who are their customers.
- Political Advocacy: Identify partners and advisors and prioritize feasible programs based on Georgia’s foodservice industry demand and program costs.
