Milwaukee Smart Grocery Network - Food Systems for Milwaukeeans


January 25, 2017
URBAN MILWAUKEE | Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC continues to strengthen its brand in Public Policy in the marketplace.


Today, we highlight the two words, FOOD SYSTEM.

According to learngrowconnect.com, Food System is defined as:
food system is the path that food travels from field to fork. It includes the growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, transporting, marketing, consuming, and disposing of food. It also includes the inputs needed and outputs generated at each step.

Milwaukee Smart Grocery Network is in the process of launching its 2017 season.

We have narrowed our focus for NEW growth.
We seek co-op grocery groups in NSP/CDBG neighborhoods.

NSP/CDGB - Neighborhood Strategic Planning organizations that are entitled to HUD Community Development Block Grant funding.

We will report our findings directly to the USDA, HUD, and SEWRPC, for strategic planning at the federal, state and regional levels for advice and guidance to the Milwaukee Common Council standing committees and the office of the mayor.

We call on the merchants to empower themselves by Communicating monthly, SHARING economic concerns, take actions for revenue and quality assurance, removal of barriers, outreach of healthy foods to the People and utilizing all resources available in the neighborhoods of Milwaukee, farms, weekly indoor and outdoor markets.
