New Website for APA Food Systems Planning Interest Group

APA Food Systems Planning Interest Group (FIG) is excited to announce the launch of the redesigned FIG website.

The purpose of the FIG website is to enhance communication among FIG members and share information about the field of North American food systems planning. This new website will provide frequent updates, information about upcoming events, news and announcements, job listings, information onFIG working groups, and more.

The Food Systems Planning Jobs List is a new feature to the website and includes a form to submit jobs for posting. The website is a work in progress and will continue to evolve over the next year. We want the new blog to be an open and collaborative forum for our members to share their knowledge, if you are interested in contributing to the website by writing a blog post, please visit https://apafig.wordpress.com/about/blog/.
