It's been a slow season at the NGFN Webinars... but it has NOT been slow in the Good Food world! The thousands of practitioners in the NGFN are making incredible process in getting healthy, fair, affordable, green food to all communities.
We are excited for the upcoming year of NGFN webinars! We have some incredible topics planned with the best minds, and the most experienced practitioners there to share their wisdom with you. We're not quite ready to announce most of them, but topics include looking at the roots of success and failure of food hubs, the "million dollar question" about how big an aggregator/distributor must be to be viable, creative ways to access capital, updates on the Food Safey Modernization Act, and more, more, more! This is looking to be onw of the most exciting years of webinars to date!
Here's one we are ready to announce!

Talk Is Cheap … and Efficient - Facilitating value chain development without costly new infrastructure
Let's face it: food hubs are sexy! So are other Good Food infrastructure projects, such as region-scaled meat processing plants.
And for good reason: these businesses are often filling gaps or bottlenecks in regional and local food systems.
However, those of us who support Good Food systems across the country are noticing that sometimes it's not a LACK of infrastructure that leads to bottlenecks - it is incomplete or inefficient USE of the infrastructure.
This webinar digs DEEP into many ways people are building a stronger Good Food system... without actually BUILDING anything!
