Understanding our local food system
Summit County Health in partnership with USU Extension invites you to the next installment of the Climate Change and Public Health Speaker Series, focused on our local food systems. From community gardens and farm stands to food pantries and the food we grow at home, Summit County’s food system touches many parts of our community. This event is an opportunity to better understand how that system works, what is changing, and where there are opportunities to build resilience.
Speakers will share what our local food system looks like, why it matters to our community, and how changes in the environment and climate are affecting the way food is grown and cultivated in Summit County. Attendees will get to hear directly from Caroline Scheidell of the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, Scott Hotaling of USU Extension, Andrea Morgan of Moonshadow Farm, and Helen Nadel of Summit Community Gardens & EATS.
