From November of 2021 through March of 2024, the MSU Center for Regional Food Systems coordinated a multi-state, virtual professional development community of practice focused on the North Central region. This project convened leaders from current and emerging food system plan efforts to address common challenges in our shared work to foster more equitable, sustainable, diverse and healthy local/regional food systems.
