*2018 Ohio Food Policy Summit: Developing and Financing Food Systems *
Join us for the eighth annual Ohio 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
<https://www.stlouisfed.org/community-development/publications/harvesting-opportunity>
.”
This national framework will be applied to discussions on financial
resources
<https://www.cdfa.net/cdfa/cdfaweb.nsf/resourcecenters/foodsystems.html>
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.
