UNI Local Food Program

The Local Food Program at the UNI-CEEE works to develop a local and regional food system that positively impacts consumers, farmers, and communities through education, collaboration, and economic development.

Our team works hand-in-hand with our valued partners to develop a diverse array of tools, education, experiences, and programs with the overarching goal of making food production and local food consumption accessible to everyone.

UNI CEEE is the leader of the Cedar Valley Regional Food & Farm Network (CVRFFN) Coalition. This is a coalition of individuals, food and farm businesses, the UNI Local Food Program, Northeast Iowa Food Bank, Iowa State University Extension & Outreach, Black Hawk County Health Department, and other community organizations & leaders working together to positively impact the local food system.
