* Increase public awareness, appreciation and support for the economic, environmental, and cultural benefits of agriculture in the region.
* Promote preservation and protection of agricultural lands and resources.
* Enhance community food security and health by improving access to and consumption of locally-produced food.
* Promote coordinated action and dialogue among the broad diversity of agricultural interests on issues affecting the region’s farmers, agricultural resources and quality of life.
