Maps help us navigate the world, and they not only show us how to get from point A to point B, but, depending on the type of map, they can also help us to see where patterns, clusters, and gaps exist in a spatial environment. As part of KCARD’s state-wide Local Food System Expansion Initiative, a series of interactive maps has been developed to visualize the Kentucky local food system. Stay tuned for parts two and three of the series in the next few weeks. We will present a closer look into local food sales in Kentucky and the various industries that make up the local food system.
This week we are featuring the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Regional Conservation Partnership Programs, the CSX and the Conservation Fund Transporting Healthy Food Grants, and the USDA Value Added Producer Grants.

Our 2018 Grant Workshop season is about to begin. KCARD's Agribusiness Grant Facilitation Program will be hosting five Grant Workshops this season. The workshops will cover a broad range of funding opportunities for farmers, agribusinesses, and non-profits that support agriculture in Kentucky.
The Kentucky Center for Agriculture and Rural Development is a non-profit organization established to facilitate agricultural and rural businesses in Kentucky.

Additional support is provided through our work with partners around the state and through fees charged for select client services.
