CARAT PILOT COMMUNITIES, 2024

About the Pilot

NAFSN is conducting a CARAT Pilot throughout 2024 in partnership with the Food and Agrarian group at Indiana University. 

Our objective: is to learn from the collective experiences of community-based CARAT lead facilitators and their collaborators to:

* support communities to fully complete CARAT audits;

* create a CARAT facilitation training for national release;

* improve the CARAT tool based on pilot user input;

* strengthen CARAT's accessibility for all communities. 

Contact us if you're interested in learning more.
