What do you consider to be Michigan Farm to Institution Network’s most important roles and contributions so far?

In this meeting, we learn more about the history of MFIN, including how we changed the culture of local food procurement in Michigan, from two authors of a case study titled The Michigan Farm to Institution Network: Past, Present and Future.

Then, we explore updates to the mission, vision, values, and strategies to guide MFIN's work in the years ahead.

Guest speakers are:
