NYFIC Community Call Recap

Inside Look: Working Within New York’s Fiber Supply Chain

This recorded NYFIC Community Call features first-round grantees Kristina Collins, Karen Oddo (Graze), and Melissa Anne Conroy (Cornell University) sharing how their projects engage New York’s fiber and textile supply chain—from raw material through product development.

You’ll hear real examples of how teams are navigating sourcing, processing, and production, and what it takes to turn New York–grown materials into viable products.

In this session:

  • How local fiber moves through New York’s supply chain

  • Project-based insights on sourcing, processing, and production

  • What it takes to build with New York–grown materials

Whether you’re a farmer, processor, designer, maker, or researcher, this conversation offers a practical view of how the ecosystem is taking shape.
