View our informative webinar about our research project that explored the partnerships, training, and resources needed to move food from Colorado’s agricultural producers to wholesale institutional markets. This research, which culminated in The Farm to Loading Landscape Assessment, has been referenced in federal and state grant opportunities, informed statewide data collection strategies, and coalesced support for statewide coordination around training and technical assistance, among other applications. This webinar covers the why, the how, and the process of completing this research, as well as how it is being utilized within Colorado and how it could inform strategies in other states working to make farm-to-institution the easy choice. This discussion also focuses on various policy solutions currently being implemented or considered to address pain points, increase resource allocation, and strengthen and sustain Colorado’s local food economy.
