One of the priorities identified by the partnership is to explore and develop alternative models for food retail that improve market access for local farmers and healthy food access for consumers. We invite you to a discussion series on pay-what-you-can food retail models and their role in equitable local food systems. This virtual series is free and all are welcome.
