Marking a new chapter in our work out of state, the NIFA grant also empowers us to support the nutrition incentives programs offered by Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont through the creation of the New England Nutrition Incentive Collaborative (NENIC). The grant awarded to Farm Fresh RI, administered by the USDA’s NIFA Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive (FINI) program and authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill, is the largest of 24 grants totaling $21M awarded nationwide by the USDA this same week.
