The launch session to the 6th bi-annual Michigan Good Food Summit, this webinar marks a special occasion as we celebrate the past 10 years of Michigan Good Food and the initial publication of the Michigan Good Food Charter in June 2010. The charter has served to build momentum around good food initiatives in Michigan and beyond over the last decade and now, as we face both old challenges and new, learn more about the process to update the Charter as well as what it means in a national context.

No matter where you are, we invite you to seek out who the indigenous caretakers of your region are and look into building a relationship with them.
You can visit this website to view a map https://native-land.ca and there is also a number you can call if you are on the go.
Just text your zip code or your city and state (separated by a comma) to (907) 312-5085 and the bot will respond with the names of the Native lands that correspond to that region.
Initially published in 2010, the Michigan Good Food Charter helped build momentum for efforts across Michigan to advance a food system that promotes equity, health, sustainability, and thriving economies.
Now, as we face the next 10 years, with past accomplishments to build upon and new challenges to address. This portion of the presentation provides an overview of the The 2020 Michigan Good Food Charter update process and how you can get involved!
People across Michigan are building a good food system that creates a more equitable, sustainable, and economically thriving Michigan.
Participants in this project created a library of photos for advocating, promoting, and building support for their efforts and Michigan good food work collectively.
In spring of 2020, six participants from across the state received photography equipment and webinar training in photography basics.
Each participant submitted 40 photos to a shared library of photos of that tell the story of authentic Michigan good food.
These are their photos.
