In October 2015 the MSU Center for Regional Food Systems convened a special one-day invitational workshop focused on the economic impacts of local and regional food systems.  The core of the workshop was based on a USDA-funded local food economic toolkit project: http://www.localfoodeconomics.com/

More than 60 people from 25 different organizations attended this one-day workshop. Because there was so much interest, the MSU Center for Regional Food Systems (CRFS) is working with the workshop instructors to offer a special webinar on Monday, December 14th from 1:30 to 2:30 pm EST.  This webinar will provide an overview of what was covered in the October workshop. Instructors will be Dawn Thilmany and Becca Jablonski from Colorado State University.
