Continuing to Foster a Circular Economy Rooted in Regional Food Systems
This grant will enable a coalition of organizations to continue their efforts to strengthen local markets and community-based food systems in Northeast Michigan. Specific efforts will include (1) expanding direct-market opportunities for small- and medium-scale farms; (2) foster connections across the region that support capacity building, cooperation, and market development; (3) complete and apply a mapping database of food systems in the region; and (4) secure long-term resources to support the scaling and continuity of the work.
