      abstract = {Federal nutrition assistance programs at farmers' markets  are considered effective strategies to support direct  marketing of local produce, and to increase consumer access  to healthy food in low-income communities. This research  consisted of a preliminary exploratory survey for  participating FMNP farmers and recipients at the farmers’  markets in the regions of west Tennessee and Puerto Rico.  Survey questionnaires were administered to participating  FMNP vendors (farmers) and recipients at the farmers’  markets in west Tennessee and Puerto Rico, in cooperation  with the respective state agencies (Tennessee Department of  Health, Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture and Puerto  Rico Department of Family). The results from the study  suggest that most recipients and vendors in both locations  consider the program to be working effectively. Study  findings will also provide policy recommendations to expand  and improve the existing program, as well as to enhance  direct marketing of local produce.},
