What’s the impact? The Importance of the Local Agriculture and Seafood Act (LASA) Grant Program
The LASA Grant Program was established in 2012 to support the growth, development, and marketing of local food and seafood in Rhode Island. Since that time, it was awarded about 20 grants per year to Rhode Island farmers, fishermen, food entrepreneurs, and the nonprofit groups and support their work. Now the Rhode Island Food Policy Council is working to assess the impact of this uniquely Rhode Island program. Learn more.
