Lessons learned. The Farm-to-Table program begins 2011 in a much stronger position than it began 2010. This is partly due to better financial planning and more diversified funding sources, including an increase in program-generated revenue. It is also due to the organizational partnership (soon to be merger) between Food Works and CVCAC, which will in the long run increase both the financial stability, as well as the outreach and educational opportunities, of all of Food Works’ many intersecting programs. However, the strength of Farm-to-Table is also due to the commitment of the primary growers to working collaboratively on production planning and marketing strategies Reflecting on the experience of this past year, however, brings several critical issues to the fore: First and foremost, the rapid expansion of sales (and the volume of product) strained the capacity of program staff, especially in the fall months. The planned increase in work processing parties, and consequent expanded availability of “lightly processed” products, did not occur, due to limitations in capacity. Likewise, the proposed increase in statewide outreach and modeling of the program did not occur. It is becoming increasingly evident that a new staff position will soon be necessary, although the current budget does not provide for this. In concert with our new partners at CVCAC, we are actively exploring new funding sources. An unexpected outcome also occurred as a result of achieving one of the more specific proposed goals; namely, the increase in the number of community buying clubs. The creation of five new buying clubs in the summer and fall months put an enormous burden on staff and volunteers filling the orders on delivery days. An evaluation of the cost effectiveness of the current buying club pricing structure needs to be made. Between the growth of the buying clubs and the vastly increased sales to the rest of the commercial customer base (workplace and college cafeterias, etc.), it may soon be necessary to revamp the packing, delivery, and billing procedures that have been in place since the inception of the program. In short, an “upgrade” to the entire system will soon be necessary. Farm-to-Table is now at a point where its success may lead it to re-invent its processes. However, its commitment to its dual mission – to benefit the nutritionally at-risk members of the Central Vermont community by providing access to healthy local foods, while at the same time increasing the viability of loc...

Lessons learned. CRAFT programs were originally created by a community of growers with like minded commitments to the education of new farmers; experienced farmers both educated and mentored new farmers. The modified CRAFT model we developed and used for this program supports the education of new farmers by providing the organizational structure to allow expert farmers to be teachers. It was successful in part because of our regional collaborative partner whose farmer board provided a direct connection to the community of farmers in that region. These farmers were willing to commit to the project, lend their expertise to educate specialty crop producers, and promote the series. We recommend and plan to continue the approach of working with a regional partner in other areas of the state. Evaluations were lower in quantity than desired. We developed both paper and electronic evaluation formats. Paper evaluations could be either written in the field or taken home to be completed and later mailed to the NOFA-VT office. Electronic evaluations were available in Survey Monkey. The paper evaluations handed out in the workshop contained a link to the electronic evaluation. We received 12 paper evaluations and 12 electronic evaluations from participants. However, our collaborative partner conducted their own evaluation which had 16 responses, so we gleaned additional information from their survey. Next year we will use a simpler evaluation format to increase participation with check box options. We also plan to ask farmers how many new practices they learned so we can start to quantify the learning experience.

Lessons learned. We here summarise the two most important lessons which need to be taken into account when deriving a key agreement protocol, offering resistance in the CK model and being less vulnerable for DoS attacks. • Resistance in CK model: Any possible definition of the SK should consist of a combination of both the local state variable and the private key of at least one entity. For instance, in [10,11], the SK can be written in a form only consisting of local state variables of the two entities and in [12], the SK is derivable to a form only consisting of the private keys of the two entities. • Resistance to DoS attacks: In [10–12], the SP only retrieves the identity of the SMs after receiving a second message and is not able to detect malicious behaviour. Therefore, to avoid the SP keeping open a huge amount of (potential malicious) sessions, it is better to let the request initiated by the SP. The SM is less vulnerable since it can react when too many requests are sent as they are coming from only one entity, i.e., the SP.
