Talk Is Cheap … and Efficient: Facilitating value chain development without costly new infrastructure Thurs Jan 22 3:30p Eastern, 12:30p Pacific Register now! FREE! ----> http://bit.ly/1HMsqCE ******************************************************************************* Let's face it: food hubs are sexy! So are other Good Food infrastructure projects, such as region-scaled meat processing plants. And for good reason: these businesses are often filling gaps or bottlenecks in regional and local food systems. However, sometimes it's not a LACK of infrastructure that leads to bottlenecks; it is incomplete or inefficient USE of the infrastructure that stymies the system. "Value Chain Coordinators" are people who work to connect the dots in a value chain. They ensure the right people, goods and resources connect with each other. Most often value chain coordinators work outside day-to-day business operations, a vantage point that offers a unique perspective on the optimal solutions in a regional market. Join us for this expanded webinar diving deep into the approaches people across the country are taking to improve the food system without costly new infrastructure.
