The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) awarded a $2,235,219.76 Micro-Grants for Food Security Program (CFDA 10.179) grant to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on September 30, 2024. The grant will support small-scale gardening, herding, livestock, and food processing/storage projects in geographically isolated and food-insecure communities across Alaska over a 4-year performance period ending on September 29, 2028. The grant aims to increase local food production and reduce reliance on imported foods in Alaska. DNR will conduct a competitive subaward process to distribute funding to eligible individuals, tribes, nonprofits, and educational facilities based on their proposed projects' ability to benefit direct and indirect beneficiaries in areas with high food insecurity.
