The Community Food & Agriculture Coalition, Inc. was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) to support the Montana Produce Prescription Collaborative (MTPRX) from September 15, 2022 through September 14, 2025.
The MTPRX project will work to mainstream grassroots programs that provide fresh produce to understand the impacts on diabetes and cholesterol in low-income communities. As GusNIP funding generally aims to address critical food security needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, this project is likely focused on expanding access to healthy foods and studying related health outcomes in underserved areas affected by the public health emergency.
