Food Access Summit in Duluth

August 21st - August 23rd
Duluth Entertainment Convention Center

The Food Access Summit is focused on increasing access to healthy food for low-income Minnesotans, learning about the health and economic benefits of a healthy food system, and increasing the dialouge between the public health, anti-hunger, and food production and distribution communities in Minnesota.  

How can we work together to increase access to healthy food for low-income Minnesotans? What are the health and economic benefits of a healthy food system?

This statewide summit will provide information and action-oriented ideas on how food policy, food systems and food literacy impact low-income Minnesotans. Participants will learn about barriers to healthy food for low-income Minnesotans and share perspectives from a variety of sectors.

Who should attend?

• Food shelves, food banks, meal programs, state & federal nutrition programs (SNAP, SNAP-Ed, TEFAP, WIC, and school meal programs)

• Policymakers, state & county public health, State Health Improvement Program and Community Transformation Grantees

• Food policy councils, farmers markets, grocery retailers, farmers, distributers, and anyone working to increase access to healthy food for low-income Minnesotans
