CREATING A FOOD HUB ASSOCIATION TO STANDARDIZE DATA AND SUPPORT HUBS

LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS, PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT | 2021 - 2023

Food Works Group (FWG) partnered with Farm Fare to explore the creation of a food hub association to support holistic, efficient growth and fill gaps throughout the food hub industry at-large. As lead research and analysis partner, FWG conducted an assessment to evaluate the needs of industry stakeholders, market opportunities, and the potential for an association to standardize data across food hubs. The project employed extensive stakeholder interviews and focused on deeply involving Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) in research design, content, and analysis. Finally, we advised on the creation of a Playbook to operationalize the food hub association. Read the report here.
