Debra Tropp
It’s no secret that the landscape of our food systems is constantly evolving, and it can be hard to see past new challenges (such as supply chain disruptions and food price inflation) as they arise. However, as we’ll explore in this keynote address, it may actually be these events that put farmers markets in a more competitive position relative to other food retail outlets. Learn how to position your farmers market for success despite these challenges, and what marketing strategies are a good fit for our current world. Debra Tropp spent more than 26 years at the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service’s Transportation and Marketing Program, retiring from Federal service in early 2019.
