The New York Department of Agriculture and Markets is accepting applications for Round 3 of the Regional School Food Infrastructure Grant Program. The program offers one $5 million award in each of 10 regions, and in this round two regional awards are available. Funding from the program will go toward projects that encourage the use of fresh New York State farm products in meal preparation for K-12 school children, reduce food insecurity, increase market opportunities for New York State producers, and strengthen the resiliency of the state’s food system.
