Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
The Building Rural Hunger Free Communities with Accessible Market Models Project is designed by the Appalachia Accessible Food Network (AAFN) to expand community access locations in five counties of Appalachia Ohio: Athens, Morgan, Meigs, Perry and Washington.
AAFN is a collaboration of healthy food access non-profits, healthcare and educational institutions, and community stakeholders formed to accelerate the distribution of local foods into Appalachian Ohio communities by strengthening access, production, aggregations, distribution, and consumption for a fair food system in Appalachia Ohio.
To create a fair food system in Appalachia Ohio, the partners focus on market-driven approaches to increase local, healthy food access through farm to school initiatives, country fresh stops in rural villages' convenience stores and gas stations, the Community Food Initiatives' donation station, farmers markets, our Veggie Van and multiple buying club models.
Critical to our success are the linkages between the anchor organizations' facilities: the Chesterhill Produce Auction, the Rural Action Incubator Farm, the ACEnet Food Ventures Center and Food and Farm Enterprise Center.
Using our critical infrastructure for food processing, product and produce aggregation and flexible delivery logistics, we can address our community food needs in nimble and resilient ways.
