Enhancing Local Food Systems by Increasing Availability
One of the key benefits of USDA’s funding for meat processing facilities is the enhancement it provides to local food systems. With increased investment, these facilities can expand their operations, improve infrastructure, and upgrade equipment, thereby bolstering their ability to process and distribute increased volumes of meat and poultry products. This translates into a more reliable and accessible supply of locally sourced meat for local and regional markets, reducing dependence on imports and ensuring a steady flow of affordable, safe and nutritious protein options for balanced diets.
Job Creation and Economic Stimulus
The funding available for meat processing facilities benefits individuals in need, as well as local economies.
