3 <br /> <br />people/organizations who are doing anything food related in the county. Two UNC grad <br />students did a baseline assessment to look at everything food related in Orange County; <br />they generated a lengthy document with a lot of statistics. The Council will hold two <br />public forums to look at food -related issues, like access and food security, and the whole <br />production/distribution supply chain, looking at markets, marketing, distribution , how <br />to get local food into schools etc. As a grower, his role is to help keep the food council <br />grounded in the realities that farmers face. <br />g) Membership update: Staff reported that Amanda Scherle resigned from her at-large <br />position, creating a vacancy. Please suggest good prospects for new members. Hughes <br />noted that our new VAD applications include a blank where applicants can indicate their <br />interest in serving on the APB, so she can go through those to compile a list. <br /> <br />7.
