ASAP (Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project) has released a survey to learn more about how people in Western North Carolina shop for food and why they choose the food they do. The survey, part of a three-year project by ASAP’s Local Food Research Center, is for any resident of Western North Carolina over the age of 18, no matter where or how they shop for food. It can be completed online at surveymonkey.com/r/WNCFoodASAP or over the phone by calling ASAP at 828-236-1282. It should take approximately 8 to 12 minutes to complete and will be open through Oct. 31, 2024. Respondents are encouraged to share the survey widely with families, friends, and co-workers.

“By completing this survey, you are helping local farmers understand and connect with consumers,” said Amy Marion, ASAP Associate Director and lead researcher. “The challenges of our food system are constantly evolving. Improving it requires active participation from all community members. With this research we can better understand consumer values and the barriers they face, and help farmers and food producers improve communications with their customers and their communities.”

The survey is part of a three-year research project, “Connections in Direct Markets: Assessing the feedback loop between consumer values and farmers’ marketing strategies,” which will examine and improve communication and alignment between farmers and consumers in Western North Carolina. The research phase will also employ consumer focus groups, farmer interviews and case studies, and more targeted surveying. The broad consumer survey provides an update to the last consumer survey conducted by the Local Food Research Center in 2014. Results from the current research project will be shared in 2025.

ASAP founded the Local Food Research Center in 2011 to study the economic, environmental, and social impacts of localizing food systems. From its inception, ASAP’s programs and services have been grounded in research and evaluation, adjusting based on a strong feedback loop and observation of current conditions in the food system.

This project is supported in part by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture, under award number 2022-38640-37488 through the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education program under subaward number LS23-382. USDA is an equal opportunity employer and service provider.

Participating in a triathlon is an exhilarating journey that promises not only physical challenges but also personal growth and a profound sense of accomplishment. The Tri Local Duo was developed not only to elevate this challenge, but foster a community of encouragement, training and support. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a novice looking for a transformative experience, the Tri Local Duo welcomes everyone.

The Tri Local Duo Series consists of the following Western North Carolina triathlons:

Hendersonville Triathlon | June 15, 2024
Asheville Triathlon | July 21, 2024

Embrace the opportunity to conquer your doubts, break through limits, and become a part of a supportive community of like-minded individuals.

iDaph Events has teamed up with iDream Athletes Foundation and other local, multi-sport community leaders to create and bring to you the Tri Local Community. We will be offering triathlon clinics, group training opportunities, a community to find training partners, pre-race course re-cons, transition zone coaching and of course two amazing, local triathlon events.

HOW TO JOIN:

To be eligible to attend the offerings and to participate in the Tri Local Community happenings, participants must sign up for the new TRI LOCAL DUO Series by registering for BOTH the 2024 Hendersonville Triathlon and the 2024 Asheville Triathlon. After you register for both events, you are automatically entered into the TRI LOCAL DUO Challenge.

Participate either virtually or in-person (or a combo of both.) We are offering this option for those of you that may have other events/vacations/family happenings on the race dates that might prevent you from attending in person but you want to be part of the new series and the community! If you participate virtually, you will race the distances wherever and whenever you want to and submit your results online.

All participants that are in the TRI LOCAL DUO Series will have exclusive access to all the fun and informative offerings coming up this winter/spring/summer. Due to limited resources and availability, ONLY participants that are registered for both of the 2024 Tri Local races are eligible to be part of the Tri Local Community and its offerings.

At the Asheville Triathlon on July 21st, participants that have completed both races will get a super cool and unique Tri Local Duo medal to commemorate their experience.
