From Aug 2020 to Jan 2021 Virginia Community Capital and Foodshed Capital hosted a webinar series presenting financial resources and programs available to localize and strengthen Virginia’s food system. Each webinar featured food system funders and organizations who have received financial support. We hope highlighting these resources catalyzes change within organizations and communities for building a more just, equitable, and local food system.
