West Slope Start Up Week

Facilitating a conversation around Cultivating Community Resilience: Empowering Food and Agriculture Entrepreneurs.

Join us for an interactive exploration of how entrepreneurs in the food and agriculture sectors can leverage the Community Capitals Framework to drive positive change and build resilient communities across the Western Slope. The Community Capitals Framework provides a comprehensive approach to understanding community development by identifying seven interrelated forms of capital: natural, cultural, human, social, political, financial, and built. We will examine how food and agriculture entrepreneurs harness these different capitals to create thriving, inclusive, and resilient local food systems. Participants will have a chance to network with the panelists and one another to build opportunities to harness the resources in the room.

The event is free and open to the public.
