Food Entrepreneurs Receive Research Focus Group Funding

From the farm to the plate, food entrepreneurs are the catalysts for building a more sustainable regional food system. The Food Entrepreneurship Research Focus Group is convening during the Spring 2019 semester to better understand how to support regional food entrepreneurs as they grow, develop, and connect to forge more sustainable enterprises.The group is lead by an interdisciplinary team: Alissa Bilfield (McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship in Eller College of Management), Kate Speirs (Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences in CALS), and Laurel Bellante (Food Studies in SBS).

The group will convene three meetings this semester among interested faculty, researchers, and community members. If you are interested in participating in these meetings, please email Alissa Bilfield at: abilfield@email.arizona.edu
