In this university podcast, panelists talk about how two organizations have turned the “buy local” motto into an evolving partnership that is making NGO and corporate cooperation in the supply chain arena work for both parties. Executive Director Diane Del Signore shares how Community Alliance with Family Farmers advocates for California farmers, helps them to become more organic, and finds markets for their food.
