Webinar Purpose

“What kinds of support and training do Local Food Facilitators need to strengthen resilient local food economies and reduce dependence on long, vulnerable supply chains?”

Following the rich conversations at the Feeding Ourselves gathering on the emerging roles of Local Food Facilitators and Short Food Supply Chain (SFSC) Advisors, this 90-minute co-design session will take the next step:

• Deepen our collective understanding of the roles these facilitators can play
• Explore the EU4Advice training modules in light of Irish needs and experience
• Begin co-designing a pilot training programme that equips future advisors with the confidence, tools, and competencies to strengthen place-based food economies.

Objectives

• Share insights from EU4Advice, COREnet and Talamh Beo 
• Understand and articulate the value of Local Food Facilitators in the Irish food system
• Gather input on content, delivery methods, and support structures for a pilot training course for Local Food Facilitators/ non-formal SCSC Advisors. 
• Activate the network of stakeholders to participate in piloting and co-design
