Local food is defined through this program as edible food products grown, raised, harvested or wild caught/produced and consumed within the Commonwealth, with consideration to those sourcing food produced in nearby states.
The local food system is a network of consumers, workers, businesses, and supporting organizations engaged in an array of activities, including fishing, farming, processing, packaging, manufacturing/distributing, retail/foodservice and food assistance or donation.
This local and regional food system contributes to long-term food security and supply chain resilience by producing food that nourishes our communities, sustains businesses and workers, and supports responsible stewardship of our land, water, and other natural resources.
The program also aims to: * Expand resilience and supply chain connections in the middle-of-the-supply chain to aggregate, process, manufacture, store, distribute or wholesale local foods for the Commonwealth’s residents; * Increase the production and consumption of local foods through value-added products available to consumers; * Expand and protect the physical infrastructure that keep locally raised foods fresh, safe and accessible, particularly during supply chain disruptions.
#### Applicant Eligibility Eligible applicants must be a part of the Massachusetts local food system including producers, processors, and distributors; emergency food distributors; community and food organizations; school meal programs (including summer meal sponsors); institutions such as colleges/universities and medical facilities; urban farms and community gardens; independent grocery stores; and nonprofit food security organizations.
Applicants must be focused on addressing food access and/or improving and strengthening the resiliency of the Commonwealth’s food system by increasing production and consumption of locally Grown, raised, harvested or wild-caught foods. Applicants must have been in operation for 3 years and be located in the Commonwealth.
Eligible projects must be capital improvements including the purchase of equipment and, if necessary, contracted labor costs to implement projects, or costs associated with planning and design directly related to capital projects.
They must support immediate and long-term food security needs of the Commonwealth primarily through ONE of the following project types: expansion of agriculture & seafood production, local & regional mid-supply chain expansion, food access & availability, emergency preparedness & resilience.
