Research & Analysis
We at the Coalition take very seriously the impact of our work on Greater Cleveland and the larger region. So we need to understand the area's food system before we seek to change any aspect of it. That's why we're engaged with some of the top food system research projects in this region through our working groups. When we perceive the need for additional information we initiate our own research projects, and each of our other working groups have assisted with a number of these.
Here you'll find an easy-to-scan list of the research and other analysis the Coalition has helped complete, along with supporting documentation (like downloadable documents and articles) as well as links to narrative sections on the Working Group pages (where applicable).
If a topic below interests you, you can also determine which working group it was related to and find additional narrative and documentation of it on the Working Group's page. (Note: most items below are related to a working group, though perhaps not all.)
