A leader thanks to LEAF?

Regarding sustainability rankings, the Cleveland area has been recently named as a "Leader" with regards to local food and farmers markets.
Maybe it's just conjecture, but I think we have groups like LEAF to thank.

"Cleveland takes second place in our bakeoff with 12 farmers' markets and 225 community gardens reported, serving truckloads of fresh food to its population of over 450,000. A nearly 600 percent increase in total number of farmers' markets and a sizable increase in community gardens since 2006 explain Cleveland's ascent in this rankings category."
