Running a Food Hub: Learning from food hub closures – Vol. 4

Sasha Feldstein and, James Barham (November, 2017)

Summary

The goal of this report is to examine factors that have led food hubs to close their doors. Many studies have been conducted on successful food hubs, but USDA hopes to fill a knowledge gap by using national data and case studies to draw general lessons for why food hubs fail. By identifying lessons learned from former food hubs, we hope this information will assist new and existing food hubs in addressing challenges, leading to success.
