AMS' Farmers Market Promotion Program & Local Food Promotion Program Grants Program Webinar

The USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), Fresno State Office of Community & Economic Development (OCED), and USDA Office of Partnerships & Public Engagement (OPPE) are partnering to host an AMS’ Local Ag Marketing Program Grants Overview webinar on Tuesday, April 19 from 11 a.m. to Noon PST. The USDA session will have a particular focus on the Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP) and the Local Food Promotion Program (LFPP). FMPP supports direct to consumer markets like farmers markets and CSAs and the LFPP supports indirect to consumer markets like food hubs and value-added product incubators. The grant programs benefit agricultural systems in collaboration with states, municipalities, tribal governments, universities, and agricultural businesses. The programs are designed to support the economic development for communities and commodities by funding projects that enhance the marketability and competitiveness of U.S. agricultural products.
