Excerpts: Local Agriculture Market Program (LAMP) grants serve the growing $9 billion U.S. market for local foods and have a long history of generating new income sources for small, beginning, veteran and historically underserved farmers, building stronger regional food supply chains, and creating new market opportunities for value-added products. The 2018 Agriculture Improvement Act, commonly known as the Farm Bill, established LAMP by combining the Agricultural Marketing Service’s (AMS) Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP), and Local Food Promotion Program (LFPP), Rural Development’s (RD) Value-Added Producers Grant (VAPG) program, and creating the new Regional Food System Partnerships (RFSP) at AMS. The Farm Bill provided LAMP $50 million per year in mandatory funding and the programs received significant supplemental funding through the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 and the American Rescue Plan of 2021. This report responds to the 2018 Farm Bill’s request for an evaluation of the LAMP programs and provides both quantitative and qualitative analyses of impacts from each grant program based on self-reporting on grant applications and grantee award reports from 2019 through the 2022 funding cycles. The statutory purposes 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. --- Simplify the application processes and the reporting processes for the program.
