Webinar #2: Balancing Values and Sustainability in Northern Food Coordination

What is Value Chain Coordination? It’s a term that describes how people work in relationship with food and community all throughout various stages from seed to supper, coordinating local food initiatives. If you’re involved in local food, you’re already part of the Food Value Chain. From Ontario farmers to abattoir operators, from food hub coordination to connecting people with resources and each other, from manufacturing to distribution and retail - every aspect of our food system relies upon each other, and relies upon the coordination of it all to ensure that our operations support local producers, manufacturers, distributors and connect them all with those who want to eat local.

Join Jen Springett, Northwest Regional Coordinator of Local Food and Farm Co-ops (LFFC) and Dan Munshaw (CSCMP, CPSM, C.P.P.) Manager of Supply Management in the City of Thunder Bay, to hear about how they use Value Chain Coordination to bring together a local food system that supports our small-to-medium scale food operations and provides solutions that keep your local economy going. Dan Munshaw will be speaking specifically to his successes in sourcing local and Indigenous foods for City of Thunder Bay facilities.
