Western U.P. residents are invited to take part in a research study about local food systems. The research is sponsored by Portage Health Foundation and conducted by researches at Michigan Technological University, working in partnership with the Western Upper Peninsula Food Systems Collaborative. Local input is critical to inform future programs and development across the Western U.P. The survey asks basic questions about food sources, food access, demographic information and food programs. The survey will take about 20 minutes to complete. Find out more on the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce Facebook page.
