Local Food Futures Project Part A: Final Report Project Activities Summary Project activities were based around the three key focus areas. There was an initial list of project activities outlined within the Business Plan. Some of these were adapted as the project progressed. In addition other activities were included that were not in the original activities list. This allowed the project to remain flexible to work within the emerging interests of the local community and to leverage from or add value to other projects and activities within the region. The table below highlights the activities undertaken or supported by the project. Those in the original Business Plan are identified in orange text.
