Thank you to the The Ohio Manufacturers' Association for inviting Director Baldridge to speak with members of the Food & Beverage Manufacturers' Policy Council.

Ohio agriculture and food manufacturing are deeply interconnected. Director Baldridge discussed opportunities to strengthen the farm-to-manufacturing pipeline through collaboration, innovation, food safety, sustainability initiatives like H2Ohio, and programs that connect consumers with Ohio-made products.

Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient food system and economy for Ohio.☀️
