We're spreading the word about this survey that UVM is planning to use to "improve education opportunities for current entrepreneurs as well as ... train the next generations of agri-food entrepreneurs." Sounds like a worthy goal!
If you run a business and are in any way working with food in Vermont, we want to hear from you! This may include input suppliers, farmers/ranchers, processors, food manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers or retailers. We are seeking the input of Vermont agri-food entrepreneurs to understand their educational background and needs in the running of their operation. The results of the survey will be used to improve education opportunities for current entrepreneurs as well as to create new courses or revise existing courses at the university in order to train the next generations of agri-food entrepreneurs.
