SUMMARY:Response\, Recovery\, and Resilience in the MA Local Food System (Discussion Series - Keynote Panel)
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Panel: Furthering Racial Equity Through Local Food System Work and Policy Development \nWednesday\, Dec 9 from 2 – 4pm (Register Here) \nOur food system\, like our country\, was constructed within a systemically racist framework. As healthy food relies on healthy soil\, a healthy food system relies on practices based on an understanding of this framework and a commitment to dismantling it. The speakers will discuss their organizations’ efforts to embed racial equity into their work. We will explore ways to develop racially just practices and policies in local food system work\, and consider opportunities to further this work through policy change. \nModerator: Liz Wills-O’Gilvie\, MFSC Steering Committee member and Chair of the Springfield Food Policy Council \nSpeakers:\nMaria Moreira\, World Farmers\nJen Faigel\, Commonwealth Kitchen\nJohn Waite\, Franklin County Community Development Corporation  \nRegister for the Keynote Panel here.

SUMMARY:Response\, Recovery\, and Resilience in the MA Local Food System (Discussion Series - Panel 1)
DESCRIPTION:Panel 1: Challenges Facing Massachusetts Farms: Land\, Education\, Regulation\, and Economic and Financial Sustainability \nThursday\, Dec 17 from 2 – 4pm \nFarmers in Massachusetts struggle to compete in larger markets\, due in part to higher costs of land\, energy and other inputs. Programs that address farmland protection and access are not proving sufficient to meet the need\, educational and technical assistance resources are limited\, and regulations often challenge farmers’ ability to function sustainably. Join farmers\, other practitioners\, and policy experts to discuss these challenges and the need for policies and investments to address them. \nSpeakers:\nJeff Cole\, MA Food System Collaborative\nJoy Gary\, Greater Ashmont Main Streets & Effloresce Culture & Design\nAndre Tougas\, Tougas Farm \nRegister here.
