3.       Webinar: Developing a Food Procurement Policy or Profile 2. NESAWG 2019 Conference Call for Proposals Closes June 8th! Please join the Chesapeake Farm to Institution Work Group for our upcoming webinar on May 28, 2019 @ 2 pm Eastern via Zoom. This webinar will provide guidance on how a school, college, or hospital can develop a food procurement policy or profile. Developing a policy or profile can institutionalize good food values that prioritize support for local farmers and food producers, sustainable or regenerative agriculture practices, and women and minority-owned farms and food businesses. The discussion will include:

*         how to facilitate an inclusive process that engages those who will be most impacted in the policy or profile,

*         types of language to include, and sample templates,

*         the process for developing and approving a policy or profile.
