The American Institute <br />of Certified Planners Student Award for Applied Research was awarded to the student team for their work on the <br />Local Food Market Analysis. The project was the result of the students’ collaboration with staff from the City of <br />Eugene, Eugene Water & Electric Board, <br />Lane County, and the University’s <br />Community Planning Workshop, and <br />followed an initial food security scoping <br />plan developed at the recommendation <br />of the Sustainability Commission. <br /> <br />Students completed in-depth research <br />which identified and assessed the local <br />supply and demand for local food crops. <br />This research resulted in market <br />development strategies under <br />consideration by the partner agencies. <br /> <br /> The UO students will receive their award <br />at the annual American Planning Association’s conference in Boston this April. A copy of the market analysis can be <br />found on the City’s Waste Prevention and Green Building website www.EugeneRecycles.org under the Urban <br />Agriculture resources section. <br /> <br />For more information on this project, please contact Ethan Nelson of the Planning & Development Department at <br />ethan.a.nelson@ci.eugene.or.us or 541-682-5224. <br /> <br />Meet the Cat in the Hat at the Eugene Public Library <br />Celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday with the Cat in the Hat.
