The Local Food Movement: Connecting Every Sector

As soon as we got back from Germany, we started our fourth sector placements in the Fellowship. After completing placements with education, private and public sector organizations, it was time for the non-profit sector.

As the concluding presentation for this sector placement, we will host a panel forum to discuss the local food movement, with a specific focus on how different sectors are involved in this movement. The forum will include representatives who will discuss policy changes in the public sector; community engagement in the non-profit sector; education of consumers, students and the general public; and the burgeoning opportunities in the private sector.
