The Local Agriculture Market Program (LAMP) supports the development, coordination, and expansion of direct producer-to-consumer marketing; local and regional food markets and enterprises; and value-added agricultural products. The primary goals of LAMP are to:

-Connect and cultivate regional food economies through public-private partnerships.
-Support the development of business plans, feasibility studies, and strategies for value-added agricultural production and local and regional food system infrastructure.
-Strengthen capacity and regional food system development through community collaboration and expansion of mid-tier value chains.
-Improve income and economic opportunities for producers and food businesses through job creation; and
-Simplify the application processes and the reporting processes for the program.
