When Danone/Horizon canceled contracts with 89 organic dairies in New England and eastern New York in 2021, the company cited transportation and operational challenges, pointing to a weakness in the region’s dairy sector: lack of processing capacity.
We’re pleased to announce seven recipients of the Dairy Food Safety & Certification Grant. Awards range from $16,000 – $40,000, with a total of $225,000 in overall funding, and allow dairy farmers and processors to take actionable steps to improve the safety of dairy products and improve marketability.
With a focus on climate and community-forward production strategies, this grant offers funds for farmers to implement projects that enhance the resilience of our Northeast regional food system.
