resources

​​Think of resources as the useful tools that fill a toolbox and define its usefulness. Different tools are required for different tasks, sometimes requiring highly specialized tools for certain functions while other times there are multi-function tools that accomplish many tasks at once. Building strong, resilient, inclusive, equitable, and profitable regional food systems require toolboxes that contain both specialized and multi-purpose tools that can provide the stakeholder with new knowledge, inspiration, best practices, new innovations, and potential funding sources. That is the kind of regional food system toolbox that we hope to create with this project. Please keep checking back as we continue to develop more resource tools in the WNY Regional Food System toolbox.
