Grant Overview

Delaware's local food systems face significant capacity gaps, with limited access to fresh produce in low-income communities. The state's Local Food Systems Development grant aims to strengthen partnerships between farmers, food banks, and other stakeholders to improve food security. However, Delaware's small size and rural geography create unique infrastructure challenges, such as limited transportation options and a lack of cold storage facilities. What are the workforce constraints? Delaware's agricultural workforce is aging, with many farmers nearing retirement age. In fact, 25% of Delaware's farmers are over the age of 65. How does the grant address readiness requirements? The program prioritizes applicants who can demonstrate experience working with Delaware's agricultural community and have a plan for building a sustainable local food system. Unlike neighboring states, Delaware's grant program focuses on supporting small-scale farmers due to their critical role in the state's agricultural economy. ## Local Food Systems in Delaware ## Building Capacity for Delaware's Food Banks ## Delaware's Agricultural Landscape ## State anchors: Economic - agricultural industry, Infrastructure - food distribution networks, Demographic - low-income communities, Geographic - rural areas.
