Bob Jacobus

Abstract

Bob has had a rich career filled with a number of experiences that intersect with food production,
environmental planning, and economic development. He has supported his community by helping
groups apply for development grants and manages compliance for state and federal grants. Bob
speaks to the importance of keeping the momentum up with long-term community projects and
having
a champion who can carry the work through. He sees the need for better fresh food aggregation in
West Virginia to help small farmers move their product to markets.
