The Central Appalachia Food Heritage project (CAFH), working with local and regional partners, is a collaborative, community-based effort that helps to build knowledge about the foodways of central Appalachia, and cultivate opportunities to build community vibrancy and thriving local economies. The CAFH project is a new effort, and D+D is partnering with the UVA Institute for Environmental Negotiation to support and facilitate this effort. We welcome your ideas, participation, and suggestions as this project develops. For more information, see: www.appalachianfood.com.
