Our team is excited to support the Michigan Good Food Summit, where we’ll be participating in two sessions.
As Local Goes Mainstream, What Is Your Good Food Business’ Real Value Proposition?
Local Orbit CEO Erika Block will be joined by Evan Smith, Chief of Operations of Cherry Capital Foods, and Jackie Victor, Co-Founder and CEO of Avalon International Breads, for an interactive conversation about the shifting local food landscape, focused on helping businesses identify, articulate and capitalize on their business value proposition. The conversation will explore:
- New ways to think about risks and opportunities, and how businesses and communications strategy can evolve to address them.
- Defining or rediscovering a business’ “North Star” and using it to guide decisions.
- Strategies for ensuring sustainable growth, impact, and profitability.
Harnessing the Power of Data to Help Michigan’s Local Food System Thrive
As institutions, growers, food hubs and distributors work to develop a more sustainable local food system, access to supply chain data is critical to increasing local procurement among Michigan’s anchor institutions and other high volume buyers throughout Michigan.
Chief Technology Officer Andy Bass will provide a visual overview of data in action – from menu development and demand planning to transportation optimization and pricing.
