Eat Me, I'm Local! - Entrepreneurial Opportunities within the Local Food Movement

You’ve seen the bumper stickers: Eat Me, I’m Local; Buy Local, Feed a Farmer; and Buy Fresh, Buy Local!  Farmers markets around the country are growing and urban farming is gaining momentum.  Consumers are looking for healthier food choices.  But does the local food movement translate into business opportunities?  Can this movement create a sustainable food system?  Where are the opportunities for entrepreneurs?  Join us for a lively discussion on the entrepreneurial challenges and opportunities created by local food systems. This panel is part of Entrepreneurship@Cornell’s Celebration 2012 event. http://eship.cornell.edu/activities/celebration
