Slow Money Austin In collaboration with Slow Money Texas, Slow Money Austin is working to help meet the challenges and increase the opportunities for food entrepreneurs, producers struggling to meet demand, and local organizations leading the way toward sustainable, financially beneficial growth in Central Texas. Our efforts involve attracting angel and fund investors, pooling resources from those with a stake in a sustainable Central Texas food system, and supplying a support network that's essential for an emerging space.

What do food sector jobs look like? What about affordability? If local and sustainable food went mainstream, who benefits?
