The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service has a cooperative agreement with North Carolina under the Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure Program, or RFSI. Through this agreement, USDA and North Carolina are working together to offer over $6.2 million in competitive grant funding for projects designed to build resilience across the middle of the supply chain.
