GROW & CONNECT
Building on last year’s discussion at FABx23 about distribution challenges, this session will provide an update on our ongoing supply chain modelling project. We’ll share the latest software developments designed to address specific distribution needs in the region. Your feedback is key—audience input on our progress so far will help shape future improvements. This is your chance to let us know how we can make these tools more effective for you!
GROW & CONNECT
This session will present the latest work on tackling food sector distribution challenges in rural BC. We will cover 3 separate projects that are each contributing to addressing unique food sector problems such as aggregation, market reach, and logistics management. Demonstrations of two software tools will be included as part of the presentation. Presented by: CKFPC, Kamloops FPC, Boundary Community Ventures and TruGIS.
