Roundtable updates from members
*Even if you can only attend for a portion of the roundtable, we're happy to see you there.
The Coastal Foods Roundtable exists to foster collaborative relationships, network-building, and synergy between members. When we meet together and connect, we reduce segregation and silos between land-based, marine, and
forest-based food industries by providing an opportunity for direct relationship building and allowing collaboration and cross-referencing. The CFR is a platform for primary producers and processors to engage with local government through staff and the Agricultural Development Committee of the ACRD
