Farm to School and ECE Local Food Incentive Programs: The National Landscape Hosted by NFSN and MSU
October 6, 2022 2 p.m.
Register
Want to learn more about Farm to School and ECE local food incentive programs operating across the country? Tune in to this webinar for a review of different designs of statewide incentive programs as well as support available for policy advocacy and education. Results from a national survey will also be shared, highlighting the educational needs and values of partners interested in learning more about procurement incentives.
Local food incentive programs provide additional money to school and ECE child nutrition programs with the intention to stimulate increased purchasing of local foods.
High interest in and increased adoption of these programs call for more communication among partners. This webinar is the first in a forthcoming series on how local food incentive programs are implemented that will feature the people who run, evaluate, and support them. Speakers include:
- Cassandra Bull, Policy Intern, National Farm to School Network and former Environmental Research Fellow at the Tufts University Institute of the Environment
- Karen Spangler, Policy Director, National Farm to School Network
- Colleen Matts, Director, Farm to Institution Programs, Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems
Trauma-Informed Training with Peacemakers to Begin in October
As we look to becoming more trauma-informed in our SHIP work, training sessions with Peacemaker Resources will begin this fall. These classes will be for us to learn more about becoming trauma-informed within our SHIP work before we bring it to our partners.
Two different class offerings will be available, and each class will meet for 90 minutes for three weeks. We recommend that you attend all three weeks for each class, as they build upon skills over time. All LPH SHIP Staff and their local public health colleagues are welcome to attend. Classes for your SHIP partners within the community will be held next year.
