The North Carolina Local Food Council serves as a collaborative network across various organizations, agencies, and groups whose statewide work supports vibrant farms and fisheries, healthy people, strong communities, thriving local economies, and resilient ecosystems through a common aim: NC’s local food systems.

The NCLFC Climate Change Working Group has started a series of fact sheets, highlighting the intersections of agriculture, local food systems, and climate change.

Shrimp is America’s favorite seafood — and it is one of the most important to North Carolina’s coastal economy. At the NC coast, in the Triangle and across the state, you can find NC shrimp and other seasonal options. Ask your market or restaurant if they offer #NCSeafood.

The stories of these hardworking people highlight how and why local foods are important to North Carolina.
