Discover how a cooperative approach can strengthen and build more resilient and sustainable food systems, while at the same time supporting our communities and local economies. Case Studies, presentations, panel discussions and breakout discussions will be held on topics such as, Community Supported Agriculture, Food Coops & Buyers Clubs, Community Kitchens, Food Hubs, Community Shops, On-line Distribution models, Community Gardens and other local supply and distribution systems.
If you want to create and support jobs in your area, help secure your food supply, are part of a community that wants to strengthen its local economy, or are a grower looking for a rewarding and potentially profitable way of supplementing your income, this event is for you.
