*2018 Ohio Food Policy Summit:*
* Developing and Financing Food Systems*
You are invited to join us for the eighth annual Ohio Food Policy Summit
<http://ohiofpn.org/events/food-policy-summit/>, on Monday, September 24,
at the Nationwide & Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center, hosted by the Ohio Food
Policy Network and the John Glenn College of Public Affairs.
This year’s summit will focus on the financing, investment, and economic
development potential of local food systems, with discussions centering
around a recent report released by the Federal Reserve entitled “Harvesting
Opportunity: The Power of the Regional Food System Investments to Transform
Communities.”
This national framework will be applied to discussions
on resources available for local and statewide efforts, exploring how it
can be harnessed to build food systems and how to leverage the economic
development potential of local food in Ohio.
This event is dedicated to connecting food council members, policy-makers,
finance and economic development specialists and all other stakeholders who
want to see a strong regional food system in Ohio.
*Conference Highlights:*
National perspectives on local regional food system economic development by
Andrew Dumont (Federal Reserve Bank) and Debbie Tropp (USDA AMS)
Ideas for building Ohio’s Food System Financing Agenda by Toby Rittner
(Council of Development Finance Agencies)
Several breakout sessions from which to choose, including food system
financing 101, opportunities to hear about funded projects, discussion of
equal access to financing in practice, and advocacy agenda building.
