Abstract: According to a 2012 survey by the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics (DARE) at the University of Connecticut and funded by a Connecticut Department of Agriculture’s Specialty Crop Grant, 73% of Connecticut consumers believe local products are produced in the state or a small distance into neighboring state. So approximately three-fourths of Connecticut consumers have an understanding of local that is consistent with state government. On the flip side, one-quarter of consumers have a very different definition of local that includes the New England region, east coast, the U.S. or the entire world.
