“How MarketMaker Can Help Buyers Find Farmers” is the topic of the CIFT Agribusiness Forum on May 16.
The presentation, by Michelle Wallace, agriculture and natural resource extension educator at Central State University, will provide an overview of the MarketMaker application. She will discuss how the app works, who developed it and why, how it has grown since introduced, and how it can benefit buyers and sellers who are interested in expanding their market opportunities and supply chain.
Wallace also will provide information about Central State’s involvement in helping expand the use of the application.
The presentation will be a virtual presentation starting at 8:30 a.m. Registration is available at the CIFT website.
