Sign on to Support the Local Farms and Food Act!

The Local Farms and Food Act (S.1205, H.R. 2723) removes barriers for applicants to access federal funding opportunities for local food system development, increases regional supply chain infrastructure, and sustains impactful nutrition incentives through Local Agriculture Market Program (LAMP), Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program and Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program.

The bill will:

Offer program reforms that simplify applications and reduce barriers for participating in LAMP by reducing cost-share requirements, increase investment opportunities for local foods infrastructure and coordination, and ensure SNAP usage remains accessible in Farmers Markets;
Increase LAMP funding to respond to the growing demand generated during COVID-19;
Reduce barriers to GusNIP grant funds by reducing costly matching requirements; and
Renew and increase funding for the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program to serve more low-income seniors nationwide.
