National Farmers Market Week is coming up and it is a fantastic opportunity for farmers markets to engage with elected officials and other policymakers in their local communities! This year, we’re releasing our Advocacy Toolkit even earlier than normal so market organizations have extra time to prepare for this week.
To make sure you have all the information you need to work with the materials in the toolkit, FMC’s Executive Director, Ben Feldman, for a walkthrough of our Advocacy Toolkit. Farmers markets and other food organizations can serve as powerful agents of change in their communities and making your needs known through engagement with policymakers is essential.
