The Plan is an addition to the County's ongoing focus on large or fast-growing economic clusters including, nurseries and greenhouses, food and beverage manufacturing, Christmas trees and wood products among others.  It furthers Clackamas County's goal of supporting economic development and job creation in natural resource-related businesses.  The Plan is an important building block in the County's Agricultural Investment Plan (AIP) and associated implementation strategies.  The AIP seeks to build upon the County's rich agricultural tradition by focusing on three major areas of potential growth: Renewable Energy; Regional Foods; and Agricultural Tourism.

Primary data was collected through interviews and surveys conducted with more than 1,000 agricultural producers in Clackamas County.  Interviews and surveys also were conducted with 42 unique processors, distributors and institutional purchasers.  The Plan also relies on other reports commissioned by Clackamas County and related national and regional sources
