Could your organization benefit from background legal or public policy information to facilitate your food system efforts at the local, regional, or state level? If so, the Healthy Food Policy Project (HFPP) at the Vermont Law and Graduate School’s Center for Agriculture and Food Systems (CAFS) invites you to apply for an opportunity to receive remote technical assistance and consulting services.
Selected organizations will have the opportunity to meet with one or more experts to receive limited consulting through the Technical Assistance Lab. Here are just a few examples of the types of support and resources that we can provide:
The Lab is facilitated remotely by a team of professors, attorneys, planning experts, and other legal and policy professionals with expertise in agriculture and food systems. We can offer legal technical assistance, which includes background legal research and information about a topic, but we cannot offer legal advice. We can also provide background information to inform policy change, but we do not provide lobbying services.
We provide free technical assistance and consulting services through the Lab.
Applying is easy! Just fill out our short application form. We aim to support a range of groups nationwide. To ensure the Lab can help as many groups as possible, we will prioritize requests that can be addressed with a concise response or short deliverable. We will accept applications on a rolling basis, as capacity allows. Apply today for the best chance of receiving a consulting invitation.
