Your Local Farmacy: Building Solidarity for Health and Well-being

Do you see your farm as both a place to produce food as well as a place to improve the health and well-being of your entire community? Renée Canady, our 2016 MFFC keynote speaker, views your farm as a local “farmacy” offering critical products for protecting and promoting the public’s well-being! 

As CEO of Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI), Renée advocates for innovations that embrace cultural wisdom and a commitment to social justice.  MPHI recently launched the Center for Health Equity practice, grounded in organized community efforts and preventative actions.  Prior to MPHI, she was the Health Director at Ingham County Health Department and former chair of the Health Equity and Social Justice board for the National Association of City and County Health Officers.

Renée is a storyteller and educator who will both engage and energize this year’s conference attendees.
