Webinar: Exploring a Food Systems Planning National Community of Practice

Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems

Food System Planning National Community of Practice: A Review of New Research Findings and Key Next Steps

Explore the potential benefits of establishing a national community of practice for organizations engaged in collaborative food systems planning.

For over a decade, many states and regions have implemented food system plans and charters. These initiatives serve as frameworks for collaboration, policy advocacy, and shared goal-setting among diverse organizations and stakeholders working to improve the sustainability, health, and equity of local food systems. 


Hosted by the Michigan State University Center for Regional Food Systems, this webinar will introduce recent developments in the Statewide and Regional Food System Plans National Community of Practice—a national, multi-state network that brings together leaders from ongoing and emerging food system planning initiatives across the U.S. This National Community of Practice (NCOP) aims to enhance our collective knowledge, foster multi-state collaboration, and strengthen local and regional food systems through an equity-focused approach.


The webinar will delve into recent research findings (by Konstantinos Zourgris, Albie Miles, Rose Benjamin and Ella Geismar) on food system planning in the U.S. and draw upon recent the experiences of a similar regional community of practice to highlight the importance and potential functions of this new National Community of Practice of state and regional food system planning efforts.

Good afternoon @Jiyoon Chon


I love this effort & felt as though I had share the amazing work the IDEA Public Schools Child Nutrition Program is putting forth this National Hispanic Heritage month. 

The collaborative efforts are spearheaded by both the IDEA Nutrition team, consisting of the amazing staff developing the menu with culturally relevant foods and the IDEA Farms team, who ensures these crops are grown to the highest quality standard and delivered to our district cafeterias for our kiddos. 

The Hispanic Heritage Month strategies we're using along with the developed resources are linked below: 
  1. "Harvest of the Month" (HOM): A direct opportunity to generate excitement from staff, parents & students by selecting a crop to showcase. This Hispanic Heritage month, we selected peppers! Attached, you'll find the HOM video that was posted across our social media's & the HOM booklets that's given to students across all our 100+ campuses. 
    1. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/cMX2qfeprezn7rww/?mibextid=WC7FNe (If you have issues with the link, you can find the Facebook page listed under: "IDEA Public Schools Child Nutrition Program"
    2. Attached and labeled as: 1 & 2, September Harvest of the Month in both English & Spanish. 
  2. "Harvest in the Halls": An opportunity for our staff to engage students in the halls throughout the school day! This promotes fun dialogue, taste testing, Q & A and best of all, input/buy-in from our kiddos. 
    1. If you have issues watching the video, please feel free to find us at "IDEA Public Schools Child Nutrition Program"

Thank you so much for giving us the chance to promote our work, as we love what we do and hope it inspires others to jump on the exciting Farm to School bandwagon. 

Lots of love,

Hello Partners, 

Happy National Hispanic Heritage Month! In honor of this month, the communications team at National Farm to School Network would love to highlight how our Partners are celebrating in schools this year. 

We are looking to feature a handful of programs that have plans for incorporating cultural foods or traditions into the celebrations, such as serving specific culturally relevant dishes to students. We would love to uplift and highlight the diversity of cultural experiences within our communities. 

If you're interested in participating in the feature, please respond to this email and let me know how you are celebrating! 

Thank you all for your great work, and we're looking forward to hearing how you are honoring Hispanic Heritage Month!

Best, 
Jiyoon Chon
