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.
