Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird Offers 26-Step Plan to Ensure Local Food Sustainability

Idea Category: Jobs and Entrepreneurship

Nebraska: Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird unveiled a new plan to support local produce, offering access to land, training, and capital to farmers. The 26-step plan includes steps “supporting local farmers, expanding markets, creating jobs, increasing food security, improving health outcomes, reducing carbon emissions and instilling a sense of pride in our community,” Gaylor Baird said. Projections to 2035 hope to double the acres where local food is grown in Lancaster County, triple the number of community gardens and local food institutions, and cut the census tracts with little healthy food access in half.
