It will highlight the implications of the findings from the National Food Hub Survey, Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program (National and Michigan), and 10 Cents a Meal for Michigan’s Kids and Farms. And will be of course uplift how MDE lead all these efforts for the LPFA Mi and 10 Cents specifically when those section are covered.
