Join us for a roundtable with tribal producers and processors, and funding and lending sources, aimed at breaking down barriers, understanding processes, and hearing opportunities and next steps for producers to start, grow and improve their food-related farms and businesses!
This Wisconsin Intertribal Food Finance Forum is convening lenders, Tribal producers, and key partners to discuss how capital can be better provided to support expanded food production, processing, and distribution within and among Native communities. The event is hosted through a partnership among the College of Menominee Nation, Woodland Financial Partners, Menominee's Department of Agriculture and Food Systems, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the USDA Great Lakes Midwest Regional Food Business Center.
