A university received FSMIP funding to identify best practices for sustaining profitable relationships between local producers and restaurants. The project developed strategies for verifying local purchasing and evaluated consumer willingness to pay for locally produced foods, thereby improving economic opportunities for farmers and strengthening rural economies. FSMIP has also provided grants to promote the domestic maple syrup industry by funding research and education projects related to production, sustainability, and marketing of maple products. For example, $5.1 million was issued to projects aimed at improving consumer knowledge and producer practices within the maple syrup sector.
