The Community Food Assessment, launched in August 2009, is an initiative of Wy’East Resource Conservation & Development in partnership with NeighborImpact, the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council and Oregon State University Extension Service. A Community Food Assessment (CFA) provides tools to gather and document information and community input regarding food, farm and nutrition issues to inform future change actions towards increased food security.
