  • .@USDA’s Regional Food Business Centers are central to our operations from strengthening supply chains to building on lessons learned during the pandemic. We’re creating new market opportunities in areas where the need is greatest.
  • The Regional Food Business Centers, along with investments through the Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure Program, will create new & expanded local market opportunities, which will improve farm income, create good paying jobs & build more resilience in our overall food system.
