FARM TO INSTITUTION NEW ENGLAND (FINE)
FINE has released a new report (with our very own Alexandre Mendonca on the cover!) outlining four recommendations to enhance collaboration between food hubs and increase the sale of local food to institutions in New England. The report follows research conducted by Karen Karp & Partners (KK&P) for FINE in 2017 to assess specific opportunities for local farm and food businesses (including food hubs) in the institutional market, and develop a model for New England food hubs to partner with each other in a trade network.
