Building Local Food Hubs: Practical and community elements of short supply chains

Building Local Food Hubs

Practical and community elements of short supply chains

Online discussion

Thursday 30 July, 9–10am

Local food hubs have been vital for both food producers and consumers during the Covid-19 crisis, as usual supply chains struggled.

If you’d like to learn more about how local food hubs work, how to get involved or how to organise one, then this event is for you.

Join us in a conversation with Rosie Jack of Bowhouse Fife and Nick Weir of the Open Food Network, about:

How things have changed in Bowhouse Market’s operating model since April
How Rosie and Nick set up Bowhouse Link with the Open Food Network
How to link multiple producers to one online shopfront, set up online payments and arrange distribution or pick-ups
What the back-end admin of the Open Food Network looks like
Opportunities and challenges throughout the process
How they think this online space will evolve

Includes a chance to ask your questions.

FREE to all in Scotland
