MDAC hosts listening sessions for Local Food Systems Infrastructure Program
SUMMARY: Mississippi's agricultural network is set to expand with a significant amount of funding. The state's Agriculture Commissioner, Andy Gipson, considers this a major win for local farmers as the money will help improve the processing, handling, and shipment of agricultural products to stores. Gipson has been gathering feedback from farmers and processors to identify their needs for ongoing growth and meeting additional demands. The funding will allow eligible food sourcing entities to apply for grants to support specialty crops, dairy, certain grains, aquaculture, and other food products. Gipson emphasizes the importance of having a reliable local food supply, particularly during challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This investment is expected to increase the value of Mississippi's agriculture production and benefit both farmers and local communities. The project also aims to provide schools with access to locally sourced fresh foods throughout the year, promoting higher nutritional value. Hattiesburg is anticipated to experience further economic growth as a result of this initiative.
