Food Production Survey

The Assessment Working Group of the Bloomington Food Policy Council seeks to learn about people producing plant or animal food in Bloomington and surrounding counties, or about those who are not producing at the moment, but would like to.  To that end, we’ve put together three surveys, one for professional growers, one for non-professionals, and one for food-related organizations.  Each of these should take no more than about ten minutes to complete, and we would very much appreciate your taking the appropriate one.  Here are the links:http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BFPCprofessional or www.tinyurl.com/BFPC-prohttp://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BFPCresidential or www.tinyurl.com/BFPC-reshttp://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BFPCinstitutional or www.tinyurl.com/BFPC-org
