Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Our project -- Advancing Agricultural Markets for Provider Prescribed Produce (AAMPPP) -- purpose is to strengthen market ties between local producers in New Mexico and large health care institutions. Key short-term outcomes include doubling local purchasing and increasing market stability for producers.
In the long-term, project success will include identifying local food investments as meaningful preventative healthcare strategies and cost-saving measures for institutions and insurance providers. AAMPPP is a partnership between MOGRO Mobile Grocery, subawardee Presbyterian Healthcare Services (PHS), and eight local producer participants.
MOGRO provides crucial supply chain interventions with cold storage, product pickup, delivery to new rural access points, and coordination and relationship building between producers and HCPs. PHS provides an extensive patient network, (serving 1 in 2 New Mexicans), an advanced patient referral system (EPIC) that integrates referrals for local food, and a wide and relevant audience for data dissemination.
Eight producers provide multi-generation expertise in growing nutritious food and strong dedication to feed community members who most in need. Major activities include purchase agreements, improved food safety plans, and coordination activities to create bonds between producers and institutions, and data dissemination to other major healthcare institutions and insurance providers.
The primary beneficiaries are 20 New Mexico producers who farm an average of 510 acres, and 5,000 New Mexico families, 90 percent of whom currently face food insecurity. Secondary beneficiaries are 20 additional producers, 51 New Mexico health clinics, and more than 500 healthcare professionals who will be able to provide more comprehensive care to their patients.
