Overview There is growing interest in local food systems, but is local enough? Contextualizing "local" within a regional food system approach may enable us to make smarter decisions about transportation and infrastructure support, as well as the management of water and other natural resources.
Kate Clancy will review some of the arguments in favor of regional approaches to food systems development and policy efforts. She will offer examples from the Enhancing Food Security in the Northeast regional food systems/food security project, and engage webinar attendees in a discussion of how they have expanded their regional ties in the past year and how they might do more through the Chesapeake Foodshed Network and other institutions, followed by a question and answer period. |

What are the Coffee Talks? The Chesapeake Foodshed Network's Coffee Talks are a monthly webinar series on a variety of food system topics. These short programs serve as a starting point for collective action by providing education on a specific issue, and by encouraging continuing engagement for participants doing similar or complimentary work in the food system.
We invite food system resource experts to use the Coffee Talk platform to engage with a broader audience. Contact us at chesapeakefoodshednetwork [at] gmail [dot] com if you would like to lead a Coffee Talk. |

The Chesapeake Foodshed Network works to catalyze connections and collaborations that build a sustainable, resilient, inclusive and equitable food system in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
