Toolkit Provides Resources for Food Hub Leaders

The University of Vermont and Michigan State University partnered with the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service in a project that produced Many Hats: A Food Hub Operator’s Toolkit. This is a guide that helps food hub operators understand the roles they may play in each phase of a food hub’s lifespan and that provides peer-generated knowledge, industry context, and direct links to existing and relevant resources across organizational, value chain, operations, and partnership development. An advisory board of experienced food hub operators and industry professionals across the United States shaped the process, format, and content of the toolkit. The toolkit is available free, online, along with four podcast episodes that focus on the real-life experiences of food hub operators.
