WSDA's Regional Market Program also works to encourage cross-sector creativity & collaboration to increase meat supply chain resiliency, through involvement in systems-level efforts like WA Meat Up -- a collaboration among WSDA and Washington State University (WSU).  
WA Meat Up is a hub of information, resources, and networking opportunities for those engaged at all levels of the local meat supply chain in Washington State -- whether they are a farmer, rancher, meat processor, retailer, restaurateur, distributor, researcher, resource provider, regulator, policy maker, or simply a meat eater!
