If 'Yes' is your organization working with the appropriate governmental agencies to resolve those issues or findings? $175,000ĭoes your organization have any outstanding audit issues or findings? No ![]() What is the budget relative to the project for which funding is requested?: The Greaux the Good Program increases the economic success of Louisiana small businesses, and expands the long-term health implications to include sustaining local and regional food systems, which are known to be integral aspects of healthy food environments and essential for ensuring food security during crises. In addition, increasing the purchasing power of low-income shoppers to purchase fresh, healthy fruits and vegetables can improve health outcomes and help decrease common health issues like obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Greaux the Good helps increase the amount of dollars spent on Louisiana agricultural products, and ensures that more federal dollars go to support local producers. A statewide Market Advisory Council gives feedback on implementation and assists with outreach and technical assistance. ![]() Thanks to recent state support, Market Umbrella established this new statewide program in 2022 funds pay for direct incentives to Louisiana low-income families to purchase food at farmers markets etc., and support technical assistance, outreach, marketing, and administrative support for participating farmers markets and other direct-to-consumer food purveyors. Low-income shoppers using SNAP and FMNP benefits at participating farmers markets and other food purveyors in Louisiana receive direct incentives to purchase additional fresh, local food. This program significantly expands existing regional market match programs and provides technical assistance to launch new programs to make market match available state-wide at participating direct-to-consumer food purveyors (such as farmers, farmers markets, farm stands, and CSA boxes). Market Umbrella is requesting funding from the state of Louisiana to support the Greaux the Good Program, a new statewide market match program that expands community access to fresh, local food and supports Louisiana farmers, ranchers, fishers, and food vendors.
