A substantial part of each workshop will be dedicated toward writing
successful grants for the USDA Community Food Projects Program.
Trainers will include leading figures in the CFS, anti-hunger, and
sustainable agriculture movements. Other participants include USDA
administrators of the Community Food Projects Program, awardees of 1996
Community Food Projects funding, and representatives from regional model CFS
projects.
Anyone interested in or working on community-based farming or food projects
is encouraged to attend.
The registration fee is $20 for CFSC members; $35 for CFSC non-members, which
includes all materials and lunch.
The workshops will be held in the following sites. Please contact the local
