Healthy People, Vibrant Farms, and Food-Secure Communities
The Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP) goals are to enhance the food security of low-income families and seniors, and to strengthen local farmers’ markets.

The NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets administers FMNP. The Department collaborates with the Farmers Market Federation of New York, the NYS Department of Health, the NYS Office for the Aging, and Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) in administering the program.

The Foundation
The mission of the New York Farm Bureau Foundation for Agricultural Education, Inc. is to inform and educate all New Yorkers regarding agriculture, and to increase understanding between the farm and non-farm public. Their goal is to raise the level of public awareness and understanding about agriculture, which will serve to alleviate misunderstandings that can manifest themselves in negative ways and cause unnecessary upheaval within the food system, superfluous regulations, excess costs, and a breakdown within the infrastructure of our communities and state. This understanding will allow the general public to make “informed” choices.
