Addressing food poverty: a practical session on how to use the OFN platform
Channel: Open Food Network
Date: 2023-03-10

Following up on our previous sessions on food equity - a panel and a roundtable - we wanted to bring a more practical session to you. Still surrounding the concept of food equity, this will be a practical how-to workshop training-type session with the Open Food Network Support team. 

In this session, we are going to share with you all the ways that food enterprises are using the Open Food Network software to improve accessibility to nutritious and ethical food. What to expect:
Creating pay-it-forward donations in OFN
Using tags and tag rules to create discounted payment methods
Setting up a google form to let customers self-select for receiving discounted shopping or to request a ‘pay it forward’ box etc.…

This session is part of our events series “Building a Fairer Food System: an Open Food Network events series”, where we address challenges to food equity through various event types that open up the conversation with our community. We believe that food equity can be addressed at different levels, and supporting our community of food enterprises in building a fairer food system is a key part of the plan.
