Description

Join us for conversations on fostering collaboration within the regional food system by convening a workshop on November 5th, at the Left Field Meeting Space located at 116 Federal Street Pittsburgh, PA. This Saturday event is designed to maximize the time you are able to spend networking with farmers, educators, and local foundations to build and share a deeper understanding of one another's priorities, and collectively confront barriers to accessing funding and land. During this 6.5 hour event we will uncover what concrete resources projects need to develop, determine how different actors can work together, and leave with tangible action items to follow through on.
