The document discusses the role of local food in economic recovery in the Shasta/Lassen region of northern California. It finds that the region loses over $1 billion annually from purchasing food and farm inputs from outside the region, more than double the value of food produced locally. Developing stronger local food systems could help keep more of this wealth circulating within the regional economy.
