Community Table

Community Table is in the process of developing a number of services for member cooperatives interested in becoming a part of the local food system. Please contact us if you are interested in membership and would like further information. Some of the services we are developing include: Starting a Cooperative: Resources for setting up a local food s... ystem cooperative. Networking: Connect with other member cooperatives and local food system businesses. Community Table Label: As marketing tool and quality guarantee. Access to Markets: We help find and develop local markets for member products and services. Guidelines: Guidelines and best practice resources for local food system businesses. We are developing a Community Table label guaranteeing standards of quality, sustainability, and fairness. The label will serve as a seal of quality and assurance that members may attach to their own uniquely branded products and services. A great marketing tool. As people become increasingly concerned about the impact of their food choices, they will begin looking for the Community Table label as a guarantee that their shopping dollars are contributing to a healthy local food system. Many people have gathered around to move projects and initiatives forward with Community Table. As things go, some projects flourish and some do not. We are grateful for the effort and enthusiasm of many. The Africa Network for Development Inc.
