New Hampshire’s Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure Program (RFSI)

The purpose of New Hampshire’s Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure Program (RFSI) is to build resilience in the middle-of-the-supply-chain in the Granite State and strengthen our local and regional food systems through the creation of new revenue streams in the areas of aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storing, transporting, wholesaling, or distribution of local agricultural products. The Infrastructure Grants intends to benefit NH farms and food businesses with the goal of expanding capacity for processing, aggregation, and distribution of agricultural products to create more and better markets for producers; filling gaps in cold storage, transportation, and distribution for farms, food processors, and food hubs; increase access to cooperative commercial kitchens and/or other valueadded product producing facilities; and increase processing for new products; increase branding and food safety through packing and labelling.
