New England states as a whole are about the size of one Western state. Yet they produce a diverse array of foods.
The Northeast food infrastructure and local issues will be among topics discussed on Saturday, April 10, at the Statewide Farm to Plate Local Food Summit at Rutland Middle School, Vermont.
The Farm to Plate Initiative aims to bolster Vermont’s food system by quantifying market potential and pin-pointing critical bottlenecks, especially in processing and storage infrastructure and distribution systems so that more of Vermont’s agricultural products can be enjoyed by Vermonters and throughout the Northeast.
An inspirational keynote speaker will begin the day and many breakout sessions will be organized to seek feedback on draft recommendations. Registration required, lunch served.
