This fourth and final session in our annual summit will recap the previous three and give attendees an opportunity to reflect on what they learned. This will also be an opportunity to develop a set of actions that attendees can take away from the series and bring into their own advocacy. Connecticut Food System Alliance (CFSA) is hoping to use information from this summit to inform the creation of a food action plan.

As you advance new approaches to end hunger, how are you hearing from and engaging with the people you serve? Measuring more than pounds of food can involve developing new qualitative tools in your work. Learn about ways to gather feedback and stories through qualitative data collection and ideas for how to use and share the information. People who experience food insecurity are experts in their challenges with accessing food and can help us improve our services and inform us of the work we do. This webinar will highlight strategies and examples for gathering qualitative data.
Join CT Food System Alliance for our first winter gathering! What do you need and want out of a food system network? A network’s structure only works if it fits the needs of its members.

This session will provide a space to have open discussions about what YOU want in a network and how CFSA can support those needs
