Help Shape Our Regional Food System

Share Your Experience. Inform Our Next Steps.

We’re updating the Marion Institute’s regional food system assessment for Southeastern Massachusetts—and we want to hear from you.

If you work in or alongside the food system, or are affected by food system policy, join us to share what’s working, where challenges remain, and what should come next. Your perspective will help inform the assessment and identify priorities for a stronger, more resilient regional food system.

All sessions will take place virtually on Zoom, facilitated by Holly Fowler of Northbound Ventures Consulting. Please register separately for each session you plan to attend.

Start Here: Food Emergency Network Focus Group

Wednesday, November 4 | 2–3 PM
