Agriculture cannot exist without consumers, and vice versa. Building truly sustainable food systems depends on a strong, vibrant connection between farmers and communities. But how can we bring them closer together? How can local communities become more actively engaged in agriculture?
InnOFoodLabs Community of Practice warmly invites you to explore these questions and find fresh inspiration in the webinar: “Connecting Farmers, Communities, and Markets in Organic Agriculture”.
