TXFED aims to:
-
Create a sustainable statewide collaborative providing a single source of consistent, reliable, high-quality peer-to-peer training and technical assistance.
-
Develop an online training system accessible via any device both asynchronous (on demand) and synchronously (live in real time), with classes available in English and Spanish.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Texas Center for Local Food is committed to upholding diversity, equity, and inclusion in our work. TXFED.org seeks to deliver enriching educational experiences and connect with an audience that reflects of our diverse Texas local food system. We believe every member of our food system deserves equal opportunity to learn and share their experience.
TCLF staff and statewide TXFED.org collaborators are honored to amplify the experiences of Black, Indigenous, and other historically underserved members of our food system. TXFED.org is a platform to share knowledge and resources as we collectively grow a more equitable regional food system. Just like our food crops, our projects and courses thrive when we embrace diversity.
We appreciate and actively solicit feedback on improving the TXFED platform, course content, and user experience. We analyze course evaluation responses when we review courses. Anyone can share feedback to AskMe@TexasLocalFood.org at anytime.
