Collaboration & Multi-solve: This application builds on previous support from the Victoria Foundation and contributes to affordable food access by developing long term sustainability for Farm Bucks program, which subsidizes the cost of locally produced food for those unable to afford it. Multi-solve in that it keeps farmers employed with fair payment for produce while providing families with affordable access to highly nutritious local produce. A distinctive element of this proposal is to bring together community food assistance providers to explore ways of sharing assets, to decrease costs and minimize competition for funding.
