Register Now<http://wallacecenter.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f6e853d37c1ed4db967a79125&id=2eb264084c&e=a43cad73fa> There are increasingly more non-traditional food enterprises across the U.S. proving that, through innovative, market-based approaches, we can address food access barriers, particularly for underserved, limited-resource consumers. The Wallace Center is compiling learning from working with thirty food enterprises from across the country that are focused on food access. These enterprises are part of Wallace Center’s Healthy Urban Food Enterprise Development (HUFED) program. In this webinar, program leaders will share key highlights and takeaways resulting from this program, their expertise, and additional research results. Presenters will share many examples of innovative and effective strategies for moving food along the supply chain and helping consumers to ultimately purchase and consume healthy food. The webinar will focus on the elements of success and innovative strategies that are bringing businesses and products to scale to reach wider markets, that may help you develop your own innovations. Webinar Outline Enterprising businesses are increasing their efficiency, reducing costs, addressing food equity, and engaging existing community assets to get healthy, affordable food to underserved consumers. This webinar will introduce one such business, Lake County Community Development Corporation (CDC) in Ronan, Montana. Lake County CDC led a community-wide multi-stakeholder strategic planning and implementation process resulting in increased access to local healthy food in Western Montana. They will share specific strategies which they employ to understand their consumers, increase availability of healthy food choices, develop markets, and increase efficiency along their food supply chain. This will be followed by a broader discussion of healthy food access learning across a wide range of models in the U.S to include rural, urban, and urban-rural linkages. Wallace Center staff will share its approach to understanding food access barriers, challenges, and successes. We will walk through the food supply chain giving examples of these challenges, successes, and considerations for each link in the food supply chain. We will also discuss how demand data and consumer behavior ties into success, what works for consumer preferences, and innovative ways to support a more sustainable and equitable food system that is healthier for people, the environment, and the economy.
