LOCAL FOOD INFORMATION LIBRARY We are currently in the process of updating this section of the local food web pages, so you may not currently be able to find everything here just yet. If you are looking for a particular report or document please email ff@soilassociation.org and we will try and help. The eventual aim is to provide a one-page resource for the reports, best practices guides, case studies and research that the Soil Association local food team have produced and collated over the last decade, together with information from local food sector bodies and organisations. If you are looking for information on the new Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) project please click here REPORTS NEW Course Notes - Getting equipped to bring organic and local food into universities and colleges (2008) This booklet is aimed at students, caterers and staff in universities and colleges who are interested in introducing local and organic local food into their establishments.
