Moving the farm & food conversation forward
Last month we announced 15 Cause Forward awards will be given to organizations working to bring clarity and reduce confusion about of how food is grown. I am so excited to feature the recipients in the blog and share the impact of their event. The first three recipients include a county Farm Bureau from Michigan, an integrated food and agriculture company in Canada and an association in Indiana – stay tuned for more about each of them.
If you know of a group who would like to join Michele to help grow an understanding of how food is grown, please let them know there are only dozen awards available through the end of the year. Each Cause Forward Award recipient will receive:
- 15% discount on one speaking program, consulting package, or 30% on farm & food event series
- 15 free copies of No More Food Fights! book
- Sneak peek into Food Truths from Farm to Table book
- Toolkit to help you grow a more productive conversation around farm and food
- One hour of consultation with Michele on topic of your choice
- One follow-up webinar on action plan implementation
Complete the two questions on the contact form to apply for a Cause Forward Award. Priority will be given to organizations demonstrating impact in extending the reach of the farm and food conversation. Michele will email you either way; please call her if you do not get a response.
Ideas for potential Cause Forward Awards:
- farm & food event with facilitated discussion
- social media workshop for farmers
- speech for dietetic conference
- science communications breakout
- webinar series with agribusiness
- motivational keynote at a convention or annual meeting
- series of education, motivation & implementation workshops
- training on translating farm to food
Why not consider how you can connect people around the plate, reduce confusion about farming and bring common sense the grocery store? Complete the contact form, paying close attention to the two Cause Forward Award questions. Apply today to receive one of 15 awards.

I feel like it is my duty to teach kids about eating and living healthy. In particular because of how this relates to nutritional security. There are ways we can adapt our cities to become hubs of thriving urban agriculture instead of food deserts. I want to share my ideas with kids all over the country and let them know how they can be part of the solution. I have been able to speak at an Agvocacy forum and recently hosted an event at which all the vegetables came from a local farm and were prepares by high school students for a fun, colorful healthy meal. I am only 12 years old, 13 years old on October 12 and I have been working on increasing access to healthy food to homeless and low-income populations since I was 9 years old.
Congratulations on your work! So glad to hear of a young person working on food deserts and nutrition for your peers. It takes a variety of agriculture to feed our world.
