Excerpt:
“Since its inception, MOUA has been committed to increasing opportunities for small farmers and producers,” said Mayor’s Office of Urban Agriculture Executive Director Qiana Mickie. “New York’s food, land, and health are all connected, and by offering training and targeted technical assistance, we can advance equity and wellness together.”
The training was designed for regional, small-to-mid-scale farm and food hub businesses that are often left out of city vendor contract opportunities. By providing them with critical knowledge and awareness of best practices, MOUA is helping to remove barriers to the school food procurement process and NYC Small Business Services Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) certification.
MOUA and NYCPS OFNS are committed to local and equitable procurement and providing economic development opportunities and resources to historically disadvantaged state and city food and agriculture businesses. The training’s inaugural cohort is made up of nine farm and food hub businesses, which will foster stronger urban-rural linkages in the state’s regional food systems by supporting small farmer/producer businesses.
