Food Hub Work Plan

Week of 2/23: Due to the snow day on 2/18, our group’s schedule was slightly pushed back. We have rescheduled our face-to-face meeting with Laine Cidlowski from the District Department of Office to do a brief overview to make sure the agreed upon projects meets both the needs of Blake’s class and this class. The meeting will be held on Tuesday 2/24 at 9 a.m. at the Department. In addition, we plan to identify the two cities that we will be using as potential models for D.C.  

Week of 3/2: Have identified the key successes and challenges facing our case study cities. In addition, we will reach out to someone at the food hubs in order to set up an interview with a person in a position of authority to get a better sense of what they feel their successes and challenges are. If the food hub is local, we would like to also set up an in-person interview and hopefully tour of the facility.

Week of 3/9: During this week, we plan to complete the phone/in-person interview with our designated food hubs.

Week of 3/16: This week will be spent organizing our research and notes. A debrief will be given to Laine on the status of the project. We plan to sit down as a team and hash out the major points our research, and begin an outline for paper.
