The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture has a new resource to help combat food insecurity.
President Ryan Quarles says the NASDA Food Security Toolkit highlights what state ag departments are already doing to reduce hunger and offers examples for creating new projects.
“Whether it be senior farmers markets, nutritional programs that flow through your department, producing gleaning programs and tax incentives for farmers, there is something in this tool kit that I guarantee your state hasn’t tried yet and you as a leader in agriculture are best positioned to implement and help move the needle and have less Americans being reliant on food pantries and food banks,” he says.
