■ Authorize the Economic Development Office to create a Food Systems Advisory Team to <br />assist in the further implementation and ongoing management of the 10% Campaign and <br />other food system economic development efforts. <br />■ Direct the proposed Food Systems Advisory Team to also evaluate the possibility of a <br />separate but complimentary "local food sourcing" campaign specific to Orange County. <br />■ Merge many of the current initiatives into a common collaborative effort to grow <br />agricultural economic development and local food systems by creating market <br />infrastructure (food enterprise district, food hub, Piedmont Food & Agriculture Processing <br />Center (PFAP), rural aggregation center, Breeze Farm development, etc.). <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: An initial annual public outreach campaign is projected to cost $10,400. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board receive this update, provide <br />any feedback or questions, and note any requests regarding next steps to the Manager. <br />
