&lt;li&gt;2007 &lt;a href="https://vimeo.com/9702592" title="Nature of NCW video link"&gt;Nature of NCW video link &lt;/a&gt;The success of our food systems depends upon the diversity of life that defines the region. View this video to learn about what makes our region unique.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;2009 &lt;a href="https://ncwcollections.org/items/show/434"&gt;North Central Washington Regional Food System Assessment.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
