A Regional Imperative: Making the Case for Regional Food Systems
January 26, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm UTC-5
Although the term “regional food system” is used more frequently these days, regional food systems are inadequately understood and valued. “A Regional Imperative: Making the Case for Regional Food Systems”, a new Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Working Group (NESAWG) report by Kathy Ruhf and Kate Clancy, takes a comprehensive look at regional food systems and makes a compelling case for their importance in food systems change work. Clancy and Ruhf are not new to this topic. This report greatly expands their 2010 NESAWG working paper: “It Takes a Region”. As two of NESAWG’s founders, they have championed regionalism and regional food systems as core to NESAWG’s work for over three decades.
Are you an advocate or funder of regional food systems? Do you want to know more about RFS and “thinking regionally”?
Join us on January 26th when the authors will present the key concepts of the report, along with examples from the field. Ruhf and Clancy will distill the material into digestible “take-aways” for food system practitioners, educators, policymakers, funders, researchers and advocates.
