Farm to ECE Network opportunity: Farm to Early Care and Education webinar

Happy Summer-

To meet the diverse schedules and geographic complexity of the state of Michigan, MSU Center for Regional Food Systems and Michigan Public Health Institute Center for Health Equity Practice are partnering to present an interactive webinar for the Michigan Farm to Early Care and Education Network.

 

Join Meagan Shedd and Kristin Nelson-Garcia on Thursday, August 2 from 6 to 7 pm for "Farm to Early Care and Education 101". Visit www.miregistry.org by August 1 to register for the interactive webinar that will provide an introduction of how farm to early care and education—including using local foods in meals, snacks, gardening, and food-based education—can be integrated as part of play-based learning opportunities using evidence-based, culturally responsive, family supported approaches to meet educational and nutrition standards.

 

Please note the webinar is limited to 50 participants. Questions can be directed to Meagan Shedd (mshedd@msu.edu) or Kristin Nelson-Garcia (knelson@mphi.org).
