Resilient Food System Infrastructure Program is run by Department of Agriculture. From fiscal 2021 to 2025 it awarded $388 million in 57 grants, about $6.8 million per award.

## Objectives

The objective of the Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure Program (RFSI) is to build resilience in the middle of the food supply chain, to provide more and better markets to small farms and food businesses, to support the development of value-added products for consumers, fair prices, fair wages, and new and safe job opportunities. The program is authorized by section 1001(b)(4) of the ARP (Pub. L. 117-2). RFSI is using non-competitive cooperative agreements to provide up to $420 million of ARP funding for states and territories via formula funding. The goal of the program is to keep profits circulating in rural communities and increase processing options in terms of business model approaches, geography, and availability to the American public.
