🌵✨ Emily just wrapped up an incredible experience at the 2024 Mobile Market Summit in Phoenix, Arizona! From enriching sessions to impactful insights, this event was a game-changer. 🚀 Highlight? Exploring indigenous foodways in the Sonoran desert, visiting the San Carlos Apache reservation. Witnessing efforts towards sustainable agriculture on their vast land was truly eye-opening. 🌾 Keynote speaker Adrienne Udarbe shed light on food behaviors through a trauma-informed lens, sparking valuable discussions. 🌱 Plus, Emily got to ride in her first “Weymo” autonomous rideshare! 🚗 Exciting news: Emily and Local Food Hub are now part of a national coalition expanding mobile market initiatives. 🌎 Feeling grateful and inspired for what’s to come! 💫

Did someone say Beignets?! And a 2nd Line Parade?! Oh, and fellowship that’s all about nutrition and access to fruits and veggies?! Our dear colleague Emily Smith was in New Orleans this week attending the 2023 USDA NIFA Project Director’s Meeting in New Orleans. Attendees were able to connect with other grantees, as well as meet administrators from DC. Can’t wait to share more with our supports about this work!
