SUMMARY:Making Values-Based Procurement Work: Lessons from the Georgia ACRE Collective
DESCRIPTION:Join the Food Systems Leadership Network\, The Common Market\, and Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems Funders for a 90-minute webinar highlighting lessons from the Georgia ACRE Collective\, a place-based\, collective-impact model that coordinated partners and investments across the supply chain to unlock new markets for farmers while delivering on values-driven purchasing goals. \n\n\n\nRather than focusing on a single intervention\, this session will explore how multiple aligned organizations worked together – from farm infrastructure and technical assistance to forward commitments and institutional partnerships – to build the conditions for success. \n\n\n\nSpeakers will share: \n\n\n\n\nA concise overview of the Georgia ACRE Collective model\n\n\n\nOn-the-ground realities from a participating farmer\n\n\n\nReflections on the role of philanthropy in supporting durable\, place-based food system change\n\n\n\nActionable takeaways for funders and practitioners interested in replication or adaptation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar is designed for funders\, investors\, and food system leaders seeking practical insight into aligned capital\, shared risk\, and collaborative strategies that lead to durable impact. We are excited to share this conversation alongside SAFSF members The Common Market and The Conservation Fund\, and the full constellation of partners who made the Georgia ACRE Collective possible. This webinar sets the stage for deeper learning about food systems in Georgia at the 2026 SAFSF Forum in Savannah\, Georgia\, June 22–25. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER
