Abstract
This report describes a recent project funded through USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (USDA AMS) to understand food systems practitioner’s needs in various environments, cultures, and focus areas, as well as curriculum that is currently available to support food systems work. This project took place in 2019 with a group of over 30 individuals across the nation with diverse background and understanding of food systems and the systemic issues they connect to. Between August 2019-December 2019, partners worked collectively to identify core competencies needed for practitioners working in food systems, created a set of learning objectives for each competency, and identified existing curricula around the nation that met the objectives described.
