localfood-fullAspiring food entrepreneurs will want to mark their calendar for Food Entrepreneurs: Growing Innovation, a one-day community seminar at the Georgian College Owen Sound campus on Monday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Highlights of the day include panel discussions by successful food entrepreneurs and interactive workshops as well as local producers offering a showcase of their food products.

The seminar addresses the growing need for education and training in the area of food entrepreneurship development. Local, sustainable food has increasingly become a priority for consumers and municipalities recognize the benefit of value-added agriculture and product development as a strategic imperative for economic growth.

The event is expected to stimulate the regional agri-food economy through the development of a more comprehensive food business support system that may include business/kitchen incubation, distribution tools, programming, mentoring and more.

The event is being planned by Georgian College in partnership with local municipalities and economic development partners, including Grey County, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, Grey County Chefs’ Forum and the Grey Bruce Agriculture and Culinary Association.
