Chapter 2 - Outreach and Engagement

The Agriculture Resilience Plan is intended to be the farmers’ plan – a document that reflects the interests and priorities of farmers in Snohomish County. Therefore, outreach to and engagement with the farming community has been a key component of developing this plan and will continue to be central to its implementation. Input has been solicited through the formation of a Steering Committee of local farmers, outreach to existing agricultural groups and individual farmers, and the PhotoVoice project. The next phase of plan implementation will involve robust planning conversations with groups of farmers on the landscape to develop and scope landscape-scale projects that improve agricultural viability.
