Program & Sector Strategy

Good fit if...

• You work at a state agency, extension office, producer association or regional program.

• Your work reaches many farms and food businesses at once.

• You want growers, buyers, and partners working toward the same goals

What I help with

• Connecting the parts of your local food system: growers, buyers, restaurants, markets, and tourism.

• Gathering input from farms, businesses, and partners, and organizing it so you can use it.

• Building programs that help farms and food businesses grow together.

• Giving them the tools to take part in your strategy.

What you get

• Grower and buyer connection programs, like farm and restaurant partnership series (new, and it’s exactly what Local Food in Practice did)

• Program planning and outreach strategy

• Stakeholder meetings and listening sessions, planned and facilitated

• Meeting agendas, capture templates, and summary briefs that turn input into findings

• A clear read on what’s working, where the opportunities are, and what to tackle first

• Guides, toolkits, webinars, and training materials

• Event series and public engagement

• Communications for nonprofits and public agencies
