| Member Duties : This VISTA will gather data on food system infrastructure and agricultural assets that will result in an ArcGIS map of our food system. The VISTA will assist with analysis and determine solutions and business models for the food hub and implement promising ideas that will enhance success and sustainability. Initial ideas include implementing food security concepts and measuring the impact on targeted audiences. In addition, this VISTA will support the Small Farms Program - Farm Ops assisting Soldiers transitioning from military careers into civilian employment by linking transferable skills learned during military service to viable agricultural careers. The VISTA will work with CCE staff, Food Hub staff, community agencies, farmers, military personnel and Cornell University faculty to re-envision and re-create a new, viable and sustainable food system that addresses inequity and improve health in the four county region of Jefferson, Lewis, Oswego and St Lawrence.
