Event Details
Date: Monday, March 18, 2013
Time: 6:00 - 8:00 pm
Location: The International Culinary Center, 462 Broadway, NYC 10013
Admission: Suggested $10 donation at door for non-FSNYC members.
Program Description New York has long been a robust market for local food, with farmers selling their product direct through farmers markets and CSAs and to restaurants. Now the demand for local, source-identified, differentiated and higher value foods is being demanded by retailers, institutions, and larger customers. While a promising opportunity for the region's small and mid-sized farms, this growing demand has highlighted the need for right-sized infrastructure and hands-on value chain development. This panel will explore the new concept of food hubs as one means for bridging these gaps, including how we define food hubs, what their activities look like, their challenges, and potential strategies for long-term systemic change through them. Moderator- Sarah Brannen, Upstream Advisors
Panelists - Paul Alward, Hudson Valley Harvest
- Allison Bennett, Red Tomato
- Michael Hurwitz, Greenmarket, a program of GrowNYC
- Additional panelists to be confirmed
FSNYC members and ICC students attend free. Donations benefit FSNYC and GrowNYC.
