Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure Grant (RFSI) is sponsored by State Departments of Agriculture (sub-awarded by USDA). This grant program funds projects that build resilience across the middle of the food supply chain and strengthen local and regional food systems. It aims to create new revenue streams for a state's producers.
States receive funding from USDA and then make sub-awards in the form of Infrastructure Grants and Simplified Equipment-Only Grants to middle-of-the-supply businesses. Small businesses involved in biostimulant production that can demonstrate how their product strengthens regional food systems could be eligible.
