The first online workshop of 2021 begins on March 16 and ends July 13; registration closes March 5. Register at https://store.extension.iastate.edu/product/15887.

The Local Food Leader Certification teaches foundational competencies critical for successful food systems development through integrated virtual workshops and four online modules.

These include equity in food systems, working in food systems, facilitation and coordination, evaluation and professional development.

The online modules offer intensive curriculum including community food systems overview, methods of engagement and leadership, creating teams and tools for success, and evaluation.
