SUMMARY:Farm to Institution Midwest Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Farm to Institution Midwest Summit will take place February 28 – March 2\, 2022\, featuring online sessions and in-person events to highlight how institutional investment in local food procurement strengthens communities.  Registration is free and all are encouraged to join these highly relevant conversations about the importance of robust regional food systems.  Sessions will be of particular interest to students\, local community\, government\, and higher education leaders\, and food producers.  Register online: bit.ly/registerF2iM    \nSummit sessions will feature presentations and discussions about campus farms\, how to inspire future generations through school gardens\, local food and community resilience\, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.  Presenters include experts from Ohio University\, Butler University\, Federal Hocking School District\, Prescott College\, and Midwest Food Connection in Minnesota.  Please visit the Farm to Institution Midwest Summit webpage for registration\, presenter biographies\, and session descriptions: bit.ly/F2iOHIO.   \nThe summit is a project of the Farm to OHIO Working Group (FOWG)\, which has been working to strengthen our regional food systems through institutional procurement of locally grown food\, engaging community partners\, and developing our regional food network since launching the Initiative for Appalachian Food and Culture in 2016. Through close collaboration between Ohio University\, Rural Action\, and Community Food Initiatives\, the FOWG has reduced many  barriers to institutional purchasing of locally grown produce and has increased equitable access to local food on campus.   \nInstitutional investment in local food is a critical part of building community resilience for many reasons\, one key reason being the number of individuals an institution serves.  Institutions have the power to offer considerable financial support for local food producers\, potentially inspiring future farmers while simultaneously influencing future consumers of local food\, ultimately creating systems-level change for our community.  When we choose local food\, we choose to support systems that are equitable and just for all community members\, good for our planet\, and supportive of local businesses and jobs. \nAll are encouraged to attend. Please register online before February 28: https://bit.ly/registerF2iM\nEmail FarmtoOHIOinfo@ohio.edu with any questions.

What needs to be taught and what needs to be unlearned?\nWhat steps can nonprofits and philanthropy take to support the movement for Black food sovereignty?\n\nWhether you’re a social movement activist\, nonprofit leader\, board member\, or engaged in community-based organizing\, this webinar will provide you with real-life examples and lessons learned that can inform your work in your own community. \nThe moderator for this webinar is NPQ senior editor and economic justice program director Steve Dubb.

SUMMARY:BUILDING A FOOD SAFETY PLAN from Soil to Sale
DESCRIPTION:Hey Food Safety friends! In this 8 module webinar series we will take a deep dive into the process of coaching a farmer to write a customized food safety plan. You will be provided tools and templates aligned with the Harmonized GAP standard. \nTrainers Trish Tripp and Lindsay Gilmour have many years experience and have helped hundreds of small-scale diversified farmers write food safety plans and achieve audit readiness. They will share their expertise in demystifying the daunting process of writing a food safety plan and interpreting the requirements of the Harmonized GAP standards. \nSome familiarity with food safety is a prerequisite for this training. This could be participation in a PSA Grower Training (FSMA Produce Safety Rule training) or an equivalent GAP training.\nThere will be homework assigned after each modules. Those who attend the entire webinar series will receive a certificate of completion. \nThis series is designed to be a learning opportunity for those seeking a career as an on-farm food safety coach\, for farmer advocates\, and others working to support and educate small-scale farmers on food safety.
