Farmers' Market
The Farmers Market Nutrition Program (NYS-FMNP) operates through collaboration among the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSDAM), Special Supplemental Nutrition for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), Office for the Aging, and Cornell Cooperative Extension(Cornell).
The NYS FMNPs are designed to:
* Enhance health of eligible low-income, nutritionally at-risk residents with fresh fruits and vegetables and nutrition education.
* Promote use of farmers markets by WIC clients and low-income seniors.
* Support NY farmers who market their fresh produce through farmers markets.
* Encourage expanded and diversified fruit and vegetable production in NYS.
* Promote the development of farmers markets as a component of sustainable, quality communities.
Cornell's FMNP goal is to strengthen local capacity, to address challenges and reinforce successes leading to strengthened local farmers markets and enhanced food access and nutrition knowledge by low-income consumers
