Second Harvest Food Bank Highlights Role of Agriculture Partners in Ohio

The Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio recently conducted a tour of local farms to emphasize the importance of federal and state support in sustaining programs that connect food banks with Ohio's agricultural sector. The initiative aims to highlight the critical role that agricultural partners play in ensuring food security. According to Julie Chase-Morefield, president and CEO of Second Harvest, the collaboration between the State of Ohio, the Ohio Association of Foodbanks, and local farmers has been instrumental in preventing food waste and providing nutritious produce to food banks. The Ohio Agricultural Clearance Program and the Ohio Food Purchasing Program are key components of this effort, helping to connect surplus produce from farmers to food banks and ensuring a steady supply of nutritious food. The organization advocates for continued investment through state budgets and federal programs to maintain and strengthen these partnerships.
