Abstract

Report Introduction: AMS promotes farmers markets and direct marketing of farm products. AMS recognized that some individuals participating in FMNP were not redeeming all of their checks and wanted to determine ways of raising the redemption rates. Southeastern PA RC&D and AMS started the Transportation—Connecting Local Farmers with USDA Farmers Market Nutrition Program Participants project in September 2005 to determine whether lack of transportation was a major reason for some low-income individuals not redeeming their FMNP checks. The project was to test the concept that providing transportation to FMNP participants and other low-income individuals made sense, was economical, and increased redemption rates, thereby increasing farmer income. To determine the answers to these study objectives, AMS provided financial and technical assistance to the Southeastern PA RC&D. The results of the study will provide additional information to farmers, farmers market operators, nutrition professionals, and those involved with FMNP.
