Food Co-op Impact Study
What’s so great about a co-op’s support of its local growers and the local economy? A new study commissioned by our pals at NCGA quantifies the impact food co-ops have as compared to conventional grocery stores.
The study’s compelling results demonstrate the many ways that food co-ops do well while doing good. For example, the study finds that for every dollar spent at a food co-op, $0.38 is reinvested in the local economy compared to $0.24 at conventional grocers.
