Subject: Fw: Urgent! MI food system funding disruption impacts survey

 

Hello MI Food System Partners,

Please complete this Google Form to help assess the impacts of recent Executive Orders and the Executive Office of the President, Office of Management and Budget Memo M-25-13, which temporarily pauses all federal financial assistance and funding disbursements, on the Michigan food system. 

We are collaborating with Terri Barker at MDARD to summarize impacts on the food system for internal purposes, including partner review and strategic planning. It will also be shared with national food and farm organizations that engage in policy work in Washington, DC, or are aligned with food systems initiatives but may not receive federal funding.

Please submit this information by COB on Wednesday, 1/29/2025. 

Many thanks!

In solidarity,

Jen
