MICRO ECO-BUSINESS: Please click here to see our recent in depth MEF Center article on the many legitimate farming grants already available. Then, look forward to more resources for new farming grants and support in the future. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) wants more local small farming and more customers for micro eco-farming, and has launched a new “Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food” program. It will offer $65 million in funding for small local farms and small-grower coops, and is supportive of sustainable growing methods. — www.MicroEcoFarming.com
