How Land Trusts Can Support Food Access
with Connie Manes, Executive Director to Kent Land Trust
There is huge potential for land trusts to support food access. Land trusts are naturally positioned to lead the way in increasing access to food and can make a difference for their most vulnerable neighbors. Learn about how Kent Land Trust partners with Marble Valley Farm and Kent’s Food Bank to support food access.
