Sponsor through Scholarships:

Georgia Farmers Market Association and New Entry Sustainable Farming Project aim to make the Community Food Systems Conference inclusive. We realize that not everyone (especially youth, farmers and fishers, and those working at grassroots organizations) can afford to travel to Georgia, cover hotel costs, and pay the conference registration fee. You can help students and under-resourced community members from the South and beyond attend this important national event.

Please help us assist individuals and organizational or school groups who would otherwise be unable to participate in the conference due to geographic distance or financial reasons.

If you are interested in learning how you can contribute to our scholarship fund, please contact Kristen Irvin, Conference Coordinator, at kristen.irvin@tufts.edu. 

 

More Sponsor Opportunities:

Our aim is to provide the maximum recognition and visibility possible commensurate with your gift. We anticipate 500+ attendees from across North America and a broad representation from various sectors and professions related to food systems: education, policy, health, community activism, nutrition, agriculture and food production, food service, startups, academia, grassroots and community groups, industry, and more.
