For people who want to discover how whiteness has shaped them and practice new cognitive, emotional, and bodily\/somatic patterns. Why this series? Land stewardship in the US has a deep history of racism, and yet land offers resources for resilience and healing from racism. As farm and food system workers and educators connected to land, we have a unique responsibility and opportunity to deeply engage in this healing work. Through this series, you're invited to take a step back from analysis and cognitive learning to shift personal patterns in your body and heart. Facilitators will share practices to help us focus on abundance, resilience, interdependence, and humility: qualities we need to build authentic, trusting relationships with people of all identities.\u00a0Hosted by the Farm-Based Education Network in partnership with the School Garden Support Organization Network, your peers in the workshop will be farmers, staff at food, farm, and agriculture organizations and farm-based educators.

Using the Food and Agriculture Mapper and Explorer to Support Grant Applications & Reporting Webinar<\/a><\/h3>\n
March 30, 2023<\/time>\n | 2 pm ET | Virtual<\/strong><\/div>\nAre you applying for a local or regional food systems grant and looking to incorporate up-to-date local food systems data in your application? In this webinar, the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service will explore and demo a new tool called the Food and Agriculture Mapper and Explorer (FAME), which brings together data from dozens of publicly available datasets to make it easy for food systems practitioners to search and visualize information about U.S. local and regional food systems.<\/p>\n
FAME is an open-access resource with the goals of supporting the utilization of data in program development, evaluation, and decision making and improving access to data. Using an equity focused lens, this resource includes indicators covering topics including labor, community resources, nutrition security and food access, business development, and local food sales and works to improve access to more comprehensive data on local and regional food systems. Join this webinar to learn how to best make use of this resource and to learn more about the state of local food systems in a given area. There will be a live question and answer session at the end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Economic Impact Assessment of Public Incentives to Support Farm to School Food Purchases<\/a><\/h3>\n
May 18, 2023<\/time>\n | 1 2 pm ET | Virtual<\/strong><\/div>\nFarm to school projects have widely been supported by policymakers with funding provided at state and federal levels. Still, many of the economic outcomes of this inflow of policy and funding remain unclear. In 2018, New York State announced the 30% NY Initiative that substantially increases school lunch reimbursements if school food authorities purchase at least 30% of their lunch ingredients as New York food products. With detailed food purchasing data from Buffalo Public Schools, the second-largest school district in the state, and the largest school food authority to qualify for enhanced reimbursement, we estimate the gross and net economic impacts of the policy through a customized input-output model. Join the webinar to hear results from the study, which was led by Professor Todd Schmit, Cornell Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, and supported by Shayna Krasnoff, M.S., \u201922, and Cheryl Bilinski, Cornell Cooperative Extension Harvest NY.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Vermont Farm to Plate Gathering<\/a><\/h3>\n
November 16, 2023<\/time>\n - November 17, 2023<\/time>\n | Killington Grand Resort, 228 E Mountain Road, Killington, VT 05751<\/strong><\/div>\nThe theme of this year's gathering is \"Transformative Change\". There is a growing sense in Vermont and the Farm to Plate Network that now is the time to \"be brave\" in how we work together to address some of the most pressing issues facing our state, region, and world. Business as usual no longer feels up to the task of addressing issues like climate change, economic inequality, industry and market consolidation, food insecurity, and racial inequity. To emerge out of the next decade with climate resilience and environmental sustainability, shared economic prosperity, food security, and racial equity, together we need to cultivate new mindsets, culture, institutions, business models, and behaviors that can transform the structure, function, and purpose of our food system.\u00a0Over two days, we will engage in transformational thinking and practice to better understand how we can create and support the conditions for transformational change. Through personal stories and breakout sessions spanning all aspects of the food system, we\u2019ll learn about the successes and struggles of those in Vermont\u2019s food system who are already involved in transformational work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
