Sustainable food bright spot in Oregon agriculture

Demand for sustainable food is strong in Oregon, and regional leaders are working to keep it that way. Continuing to grow CSAs and farmers markets to give individual farmers high-value food connections, the next goal is to move regional food into food service venues.

"The market is clearly saying, 'We want more of these types of products, and we want them at increasing scale,'" says Scott Exo, executive director of Food Alliance, a certification organization for green-minded growers and processors.

He and other leaders in the sustainable food community expect to see more growers work together, forming co-ops or producer groups to meet growing demand.
