Join IAC and the USDA-Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) to learn more about the Local Food Purchase Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program (LFPA) which provides $400 million in non-competitive agreements to Tribes and states to support local food purchasing and distribution.
This important funding opportunity supports purchasing from local producers who do not have to be AMS-certified vendors while supporting local food distribution efforts. Make plans to attend to learn about this program and other opportunities with AMS.
​
AMS will be holding weekly "office hours" for Tribal government/department representatives to get questions answered relating to the open application which closes on April 5, 2022. More information will be shared during the presentation.
