Please take 15 minutes to complete an online survey. Your input about agricultural production and transportation in New York State is important to us.


The Lower Hudson-Long Island Resource Conservation & Development Council and NYSERDA have funded a project to assess the feasibility of reinvigorating the Hudson River as a transportation corridor for food and other agricultural products. Karp Resources, a NYC-based food and agriculture consulting company, is conducting this research and developed a survey to gather information about New York State farm production and agricultural product transportation.

Your participation in this research would be most appreciated.  The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete, and individual responses will be held strictly confidential.


If you experience any difficulty completing the online survey or wish to receive a paper copy, please call Karp Resources at 212-260-1070.
