- 5. Santa Clara Food System Alliance Vision Santa Clara County has diverse and vibrant agriculture production on its urban and rural lands that are protected and well stewarded. This Agriculture provides healthy/affordable food for all residents in Santa Clara County and beyond, including those who currently do not have financial or geographic access. Retail, direct--‐marketing and institutional venues all have locally grown produce and value--‐added products in abundance. Farming in rural and urban areas is a viable endeavor and urban and rural agriculture work together to support a robust, integrated food system and viable local economy. All residents participate and have a deep understanding of the local food system. The local ecosystem health is not compromised by agriculture, but is supported by it, as is social justice in our community.
