February 26 @ 9:00 am – 1:00 pm UTC-5

What is the role of narrative and framing in support of food system transformation? How do we – separately and collectively – learn to tell better stories that are compelling, engaging and based in our core values of democracy, equity, sustainability and trust? How do we interrupt the dominant food system stories that do not serve the people and places of New England while simultaneously lifting up examples – already happening – of the food system we are moving toward?

**Final details and event registration coming soon**

Event Flow:

• 9:00 am to 10:45 am – Opening, Keynote Guests, Q&A and discussion breakout groups
• 10:45 am to 11:30 am – Stretch break for everyone
• 11:30 am to 12:45 pm –  Stories from our panelists, Q&A and discussion breakout groups
• 12:45 pm to 1:00 pm – Closing and next steps

Who should attend?

Anyone who considers themselves part of the New England Food System is automatically part of the regional network. Because of the virtual nature of this gathering, food system advocates from outside of New England are also welcome to attend. If your food system working includes farming, fishing, value-added food products, food security, food access, food waste, policy & advocacy, education, planning, distribution and logistics, food justice and food sovereignty….please join us!

This session is free but space is limited and registration is required. The session will be held in English, closed captioned/transcripted and will be recorded for later viewing. Facilitation by Curtis Ogden and Karen Spiller, with support from FSNE Staff.
