Network Gathering to Launch Vermont Farm to Plate Network

In early October, 150 people from all parts of Vermont’s food system gathered for two days in Fairlee, VT to launch a network to implement the Farm to Plate Strategic Plan, a 10-year plan to build the local food system. New Directions Collaborative and Curtis Ogden of Interaction Institute for Social Change helped design and facilitate the gathering.

We need not only do things better than we have in the past; we need to link them in smarter and more effective ways.
