Institutional Food Market Coalition

In this reading assignment, students will read about the Institutional Food Market Coalition at their website. Students will read information about the IFMC in relation to buying and selling large and/or bulk quantities of locally grown and produced food products. Institutional Food Market Coalition facilitates local food sales by connecting large volume buyers, distributors, farmers, and local food businesses. Members of the IFM Coalition include UW Extension, Wisconsin institutions, farmers, local food businesses (value-added food), and  local and national distributors. At the website students are asked to review information regarding how food system organizations are working to develop, increase, and expand sales of local food to and promote the local food economy. In addition to reading about the organization and the buyers and growers, students are asked to read out how to introduce value-added foods to the institutional foods market place.
