What is LFPA?

The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection (DATCP) signed a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service to create the Wisconsin Local Food Purchase Assistance Program (LFPA).

 

This new program aims to:

  • Strengthen local and regional food systems

  • Support Wisconsin farmers

  • Distribute fresh nutritious foods to underserved communities

​

 DATCP will work collaboratively with producers, distributors, food security organizations, and tribal partners to provide program development, coordinate transportation and logistics, and procure food from local producers.
