Could your community tap into the next round of money from the USDA for local food production? You may want to register for the Monday Dec. 7th USDA webinar to be held at 2pm Central Time.
Five million dollars has been awarded to organizations commited to local food:
“Launched in September 2009, the ‘Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food’ initiative emphasizes the need for a fundamental and critical reconnection between producers and consumers. ‘Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food’ includes such major agricultural topics as supporting local farmers and community food groups; strengthening rural communities; enhancing direct marketing and farmers’ promotion programs; promoting healthy eating; protecting natural resources; and helping schools connect with locally grown foods. “
