USDA announces Regional Food Business Centers, new program

The US Department of Agriculture has unveiled 12 USDA Regional Food Business Centers to help farmers and ranchers access new markets and navigate federal, state, and local resources.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, U.S. Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack said, “we think it will provide technical and financial assistance to continue strengthening our local and regional food system.”

The USDA has said $400 million will be used to fund the Regional Food Business Centers.
