The Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP) is a grant opportunity of the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS). The purpose of FMPP is to fund projects that develop, coordinate, and expand direct producer-to-consumer markets to help increase access to and availability of locally and regionally produced agricultural products.
LaTasha Thomas, Grants Management Specialist at FMPP, will discuss the purpose of FMPP, project types available, applications requirements and provide examples of eligible activities to help attendees foster their understanding of the program and develop a successful application.
