Opportunities for Regions Toolkit
We believe the food industry has enormous potential for stimulating community revitalisation and small business growth. To develop this potential, our project has produced a range of resources to assist communities to successfully establish food incubator hubs. These food incubator hubs will cater for the growing numbers of emerging food entrepreneurs who are in urgent need of a place to produce, learn and grow.
The Food Incubators Transforming Regions Toolkit is a set of resources to help regions establish a “Food Incubator Regional Partnerships”. You can learn more about this innovative approach in our toolkit. Four Partnerships have been established to date, this toolkit records their experiences, the techniques and processes used, and the lessons learnt.
