CDFA Food Systems Finance Webinar Series: Restoring Local Food Systems Through Finance



Restoring local and regional food systems is a complex undertaking that resists a one-size-fits-all approach when the unique needs of individual communities are considered. However, cohesive principles and philosophies are essential for the continued development of this sector. During this installment of the CDFA Food Systems Finance Webinar Series, we illustrate the Reframe, Build, Plan framework of critical success factors that are needed to expand financing and drive capital into local food systems. Speakers discuss how this strategy can be used to focus resources toward socially disadvantaged farmers, ranchers, and small business owners in the food system.
