What to Expect from Ag-Bio Cluster Stakeholder Sessions

During the January 11th Ag-Bio Cluster Leadership Council (LC) meeting, members posed a series of key questions as topics for subsequent postings and online discussions in preparation for their next meeting on February 8th.  The first question concerned local / county stakeholder meetings currently underway within the 16-county Northeast Ohio region, namely, what does the LC want from the stakeholder sessions and what can attendees expect from their participation?

 

Land Use for Food or Energy or Both and More?

During a recent discussion about the formation of an Ag-Bio Cluster Leadership Council, a question was raised about the kinds of projects to be considered for inclusion in the portfolio: Are they food-related only?  Can they include advanced energy, especially if related to agriculture?  What about those that expand local, distributed manufacturing?  Is more weight to be given to those projects that encourage land use for multiple purposes?

FFEF funded project on agricultural and bioscience business development in NE Ohio

You may have already seen this, but in case you haven't, the entrepreneurs in agriculture group should certainly be aware of a new project in NE Ohio.  The project is described in a post to the Advance Northeast Ohio Partners group.  If you are in NE Ohio and haven't done so already, please consider joining the Advance Northeast Ohio Partners group.  And if you know of individuals in NE Ohio who would be key leaders that could serve on a leadership council for this regional effort, please
