Introducing NMPAN – The Niche Meat Processor Assistance Network
NMPAN is a national community that connects members of the meat processing sector.
The Niche Meat Processor Assistance Network (NMPAN) is a national community of practice focused on the long-term viability of the small and mid-sized processors who are essential to the local and regional meat and poultry sectors. By connecting processors, producers, other supply chain actors, and support entities like agencies, NGOs, universities, and funders, NMPAN creates opportunities for peer exchange, problem solving, and innovative approaches to difficult challenges. NMPAN was founded in 2008 and is housed at Oregon State University. NMPAN is part of eXtension, an initiative of the national land-grant university system, providing objective, research-based, credible information.
