The Office of Community Engagement's local food intern Elizabeth McHone has spent time researching producers near Ripon, WI and organizing lists of community members with connections to local food issues, as well as some of the assets in Ripon. Scary statistics on the economic, health, and environmental impacts of not eating locally have been gathered. Elizabeth has been working on establishing a network of students, faculty, staff, and community members interested in local food in Ripon in the hopes that student opinion will guide school food policies in the future. Further attempts to attain information on food issues, educate the community on those issues, and create a local food movement beneficial to the Ripon community are embodied in R.I.P.E.N.

 

 

The first of R.I.P.E.N.'s videos is completed and available for viewing on YouTube and Facebook. http://www.youtube.com/user/RiponLocalFood
