The North Central USDA Regional Food Business Center (RFBC) focuses on expanding small and mid-sized agricultural value chains in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
NDAREC staff, through the North Dakota Rural Electric Cooperatives Foundation, is providing technical assistance in the effort to create new value chain connections, expand supply and demand to and from new and existing markets, improve viability and increase market value of products, and boost Upper Midwest regional food systems.
The North Central RFBC has developed a statewide local foods action plan as part of the initiative. To view the plan, click here.
