National Farm to Institution Metrics Collaborative Webinar Series: Local Food Procurement – Definitions are Pivotal
3:30 – 4:00 pm EST on Thursday, April 25, 2019 (GoToWebinar)
In this new series, each 30-minute webinar will feature a different Collaborative member and a tool or program they have used to measure farm to institution efforts. In the third webinar in this series, Dr. Lilian Brislen of the Food Connection at the University Kentucky will demonstrate the importance of identifying the 'what' and 'why' when establishing local food definitions and metrics. Drawing on six years of the University's first private dining contract, Brislen will share strategies, metrics, and hard-won lessons in developing effective local procurement initiatives at public institutions.
