A Regional Imperative: Making the Case for Regional Food Systems
A Regional Imperative: Making the Case for Regional Food Systems
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.
Incorporating Worker Values into Local Food Procurement [Webinar]
Incorporating Worker Values into Local Food Procurement [Webinar]
Local food procurement is not just about reducing food miles and greenhouse gas emissions but also includes sourcing food that is fair, just, and supports workers' dignity. Today’s labor crisis is stark evidence of the need to listen and respond to the needs of workers in the food system. Join FINE and our speakers from Worker-Driven Social Responsibility Network and Migrant Justice to learn more about their worker-driven model, how the model was started, and the organizations that have implemented it. We will discuss what farm to institution stakeholders can learn from this model and how institutions can support worker-driven solutions to long-lasting worker abuses. We’ll also take a closer look at the dairy industry in New England as an example of worker-driven efforts and leadership. Learn more about how farmworkers and allies are making Vermont dairy sustainable, unique, and a source of dignified work for this state.
