ISDA offering funding to help improve the state’s food supply chain
The Indiana State Department of Agriculture continues to invest in the long-term stability of the state’s food system.
Deputy Director Katie Nelson says the agency has awarded more than $6.7 million to 17 businesses across the state.
“These businesses are going to be providing economic and regional benefits to their local communities,” she says. “When people have access to nutritious food, our economies are more stable and our country is more stable.”
She tells Brownfield funding is focused on meeting the needs of rural communities.
“This project is really helping provide increased capacity for some of these local projects to be able to get food to hungry Hoosiers,” she says.
The program is part of USDA’s Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure Program to help improve food security throughout Indiana.
