Description

As the agency reported it.

However, to access these new markets, food hubs need to increase their organizational capacity and the capacity of the farmers they buy from. This project will increase the organizational capacity of seven partnering food hubs and the farmers they work with by implementing quality management systems, developing standard operating procedures, implementing food safety plans, and providing direct technical assistance to farmers (objective 1) and providing food safety training (objective 2) and direct technical assistance to farmers in writing, implementing and obtaining GAP certification (objective 3). The project will benefit 415 farmers selling products through the participating food hubs, and an additional 180 who participate in a cfsa workshop and/or receive direct technical assistance on food safety, for a total of 595 beneficiaries. Of those, 60% (353) will be historically underserved and/or socially disadvantaged. This project will result in 400 farmers learning about and increasing their knowledge of food safety and prevention; 240 increasing their knowledge about new market opportunities; 300 jobs maintained; 260 farmers reporting increased revenue; and 66 new farmers selling to food hubs
