Food Systems Plans National Community of Practice (NCoP) Learning Session - Methodology of a Rural Colorado Food System Plan
June 30, 2026 3:00PM - 4:45PM
Contact: Colleen Matts and Lindsey Scalera
In this Learning Session, join us to learn how a nonprofit in a frontier region moved from community input and assessment findings into a regional Food and Agriculture Action Plan. We will share how ideas were gathered, organized into goals and objectives, and shaped into an actionable plan. We will also reflect on what worked well, and what we learned that may be useful for other rural and frontier communities.Guest speaker:
