Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for a Just and Sustainable Food System in New Mexico
The New Mexico grant program aims to advance a just and sustainable food system, build people the power to accelerate change, and achieve racial equity in funding across the movement. To achieve these goals, the program focuses on several priority outcomes that address the unique challenges and opportunities in the state. The New Mexico Department of Agriculture (NMDA) plays a crucial role in supporting these outcomes through its various initiatives and programs.
New Mexico's diverse geography, which includes frontier counties and a significant Native American population, presents both opportunities and challenges for achieving a just and sustainable food system. The state's rural areas, such as those found in the Four Corners region, face unique barriers to accessing healthy and locally produced food. In contrast, urban areas like Albuquerque have a thriving local food scene, with many small businesses and community organizations working to promote food justice.
Priority Outcomes for BIPOC-Led Organizations
Grants awarded under this program will support BIPOC-led organizations in achieving several key outcomes, including:
-
Increased access to healthy, locally produced food in underserved communities. This outcome is critical in New Mexico, where food insecurity is a significant issue, particularly in rural areas. Organizations working to improve access to healthy food will be eligible for funding, including those that develop innovative solutions to food distribution and retail in underserved communities.
-
Strengthened local food economies through support for small businesses and local food producers. New Mexico is home to a thriving small business community, with many entrepreneurs working in the food and agriculture sector. Grants will be available to support these businesses, including those that need assistance with business planning, marketing, and other capacity-building activities.
-
Increased representation and leadership of BIPOC communities in the food system. This outcome is critical for achieving racial equity in funding across the movement. Organizations that provide leadership development opportunities, training, and other capacity-building activities for BIPOC individuals will be eligible for funding.
The New Mexico grant program is designed to support organizations that are working to create a more just and equitable food system. By focusing on these priority outcomes, the program aims to make a meaningful impact in the state and contribute to a more sustainable and equitable food system nationwide.
Applicants for this grant program should be aware that the funder is particularly interested in supporting organizations that are working to address the unique challenges faced by rural communities in New Mexico. Additionally, the funder is looking for organizations that are using innovative approaches to build power and promote change in the food system.
Measuring Success in New Mexico
The success of the grant program will be measured by the progress made towards achieving the priority outcomes outlined above. Grantees will be required to report on their progress, including the number of people served, the amount of food produced or distributed, and other relevant metrics. The funder will also be working closely with grantees to provide technical assistance and support, including training and capacity-building activities.
For organizations considering applying for this grant program, it is essential to understand the specific challenges and opportunities in New Mexico. The state's unique geography and demographics, including its significant Native American population, present both opportunities and challenges for achieving a just and sustainable food system.
