Sustainable Change Alliance Presents

A vision for revenue based financing for our food system

Have you ever considered using your success to create greater success? Leveraging processes and capital that are aligned with your project, scope, scale context, and capacity can take your food system project to the next level.

In this webinar we’ll discuss how specific loans provide an accessible, low risk alternative to traditional financing models and can help small farmers, fisherfolk, ranchers, and food producers build their businesses – and food resilience – in our County.

On Friday, May 21 at 1:00 p.m., SBCFAN Executive Director Shakira Miracle, Board Chair Kiah Jordan, and member farmer Nathanael Siemens will join RISE Beyond’s Ron Boehm and Economic Development Collaborative’s Marvin Boateng to discuss the future of food system financing. Learn more and register.
