Food System Economic Partnership

Food System Economic Partnership (FSEP), a 501c(3) non-profit, was established in 2005 to identify economic development opportunities and implement creative solutions to chronic issues relevant to the food system in southeast Michigan. The strength of FSEP comes from the combined effort of five county administrations, farm organization leaders, food industry heads, community groups, food system and economic development experts and resource providers.*
