Each year the Stinner Summit gathers farmers, researchers, educators, policy leaders, and organizations together in a different region of Ohio. Using a participatory process, specific project ideas are crafted and funded through the Stinner Endowment. This year the event returns to southeast Ohio with a focus on Supporting Healthy Appalachian Agroecosystems.

There is no cost to attend, but participants must pre-register by November 8. The Stinner Summit is an opportunity to learn what others are doing to advance local food systems, share individual ideas and experiences, and pool resources to design community-led initiatives. The event is sponsored by the Agroecosystem Management Program at The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, and by the Stinner Endowment.
