MAIN APPLICATION d) Describe the population to be served or the area to benefit and indicate how you will identify beneficiaries. The Orange County Food Council will serve all residents of Orange County through it's work to bring together parties interested in building a strong, local food system that addresses food access, farmland preservation, and a local living economy. The council brings together representatives of town and county agencies including the Orange County Departments of Economic Development, Health, and Social Services, the Orange County Schools, the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools, elected officials, UNC representatives, representatives of non - profits, producers, and consumers. These diverse stakeholders and agencies already serve Orange County residents and by convening together there is greater potential to strengthen the reach and impact including to vulnerable populations and the underserved.
