One way to create a healthier food environment for low-income residents of our inner cities and “food deserts” is to increase the amount of SNAP dollars being spent at farmers’ markets – and doing so has the added advantage of also benefitting local farmers and the local economy. This is precisely what our nonprofit Fair Food Network  (FFN) is doing with the statewide Double Up Food Bucks  (DUFB) program at 55 participating farmers’ markets in Michigan.

Part 3: Key Players in Food Systems Impact Investing At the national level, Farmland LP invests in conventional farmland and converts it to higher-value organic farmland. RSF Social Finance’s Food & Agriculture PRI Fund, on the other hand, focuses on investing in value-added processing local/regional food distribution businesses. The fund made its first loan to Common Market Philadelphia, a non-profit social enterprise that aggregates food from local farms in the Philadelphia area and distributes to institutional customers in the region. RSF recently made a second loan to Crown O’ Maine Organic Cooperative, a local food distributor based in Maine and committed to supporting Maine farmers. In 2012, Slow Money, a national food systems non-profit, plans to launch the Soil Trust, which will reinvest donations from individuals and foundations in a variety of good food enterprises.
