The purpose of our project is to create a successful collaboration of distinct but critical parts of the local food system to increase supply, distribution, and demand of specialty crops grown by socially disadvantaged farmers/producers within rural, remote, or underserved communities throughout Alabama. The Alabama Department of Agriculture (ADAI) will purchase food directly from socially disadvantaged farmers.
This list of entities that have signed Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreements with USDA will be updated as the agreements are signed.
