The purpose of this forum is to expand on concepts presented at the 2017 “Securing the Supply Chain –

Farm to Fork” forum, with a renewed goal of increasing awareness around food protection, security, defending our agriculture and food based economies, and arable

land availability. Addressing the vulnerability of the food supply chain, and overall preparedness, response, and recover is paramount for the health of our food supply. The Centers of Excellence are providing this opportunity to converse, identify training needs, educate consumers

and producers alike, and identify needs that translate into expanded curriculum within the community and

technical college system.
