Belonging in VT's Food System: The Power of a Network

The Salvation Farms’ team is feeling incredibly inspired after attending Farm to Plate’s 14th Annual Gathering last month! The focus of this year’s event was on transformative action – Creating impact through working together. There are few events that show the importance of Vermont’s farming and food sector like Farm to Plate – It brings together a diversity of individuals and perspectives that all share the common bond of wanting to create a more just and resilient future for Vermont’s agricultural community.

We attended the following workshops that helped us deepen our understanding and connections on issues we care about most including food security, distribution and supply chain, and farmer and farmworker needs:
• Nothing About Us, Without Us..." Engaging Communities in Food Security Advocacy
• Supply Chain Facilitation that Centers Farm & Farm Worker Needs
• Food Hubs: Blurring the line between the charitable and commercial food system
• Meeting Our Supply Chain Investment Needs

A heartfelt "thank you" to the Farm to Plate team and presenters for organizing a wonderful event. Learn how you can become a member of the Farm to plate Network here!
