RE-AMP Action Team: Urban Food Systems Resource Sharing Session 3
September 9, 2024 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Join Green Umbrella’s Greater Cincinnati Regional Food Policy Council to explore and share resources related to urban food systems!
Cities across the Midwest are digging into urban agriculture and building resilient urban food systems. With support from the RE-AMP Network, a coalition working to enable collaboration on climate solutions in the Midwest, the Urban Food Systems Resource Sharing Action Team is building a network to strengthen collaborative relationships, share ideas and resources, and gather best practices based on lived experience.
The purpose of the network will be to support you – urban farm and food system focused organizations, food policy councils, and farmers – in understanding, accessing, and coordinating federal, state, local, and private funding available at the intersection of urban food systems and climate change.
Monthly resource sharing sessions will be held on Zoom, 2-3:30 pm Central Time (that’s 3-4:3pm ET) on Mondays: July 8, August 12, September 9, October 7, and November 7.
The first session will engage in conversation about key considerations before applying for federal funding, building strong partnerships, what you can do to prepare, and examples of successful urban food system projects.
