The California Department of Food and Agriculture Office of Farm to Fork is seeking applications for a new grant program. The Farm to Community Food Hubs Program will award up to $13.75 million in competitive grants for organizations developing and expanding new and existing community food hubs to increase the purchasing of local, climate-smart and nutritious foods by schools and other institutions in California. Up to 10% of the available funding will be set aside for projects led by California Native American Tribes and Tribal-led nonprofit organizations. Two funding tracks are available: Track 1 Planning grants will fund planning activities. Track 2 Infrastructure and Operations grants will fund food aggregation and distribution infrastructure and operational costs.
