Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) (FY2020)

Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES), the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA), and other USDA existing authorities. The program includes two major elements to achieve these goals.Direct Support to Farmers and Ranchers: The program will provide $16 billion in direct support based on actual losses for agricultural producers where prices and market supply chains have been impacted and will assist producers with additional adjustment and marketing costs resulting from lost demand and short-term oversupply for the 2020 marketing year caused by COVID-19.USDA Purchase and Distribution: USDA will partner with regional and local distributors, whose workforce has been significantly impacted by the closure of many restaurants, hotels, and other food service entities, to purchase $3 billion in fresh produce, dairy, and meat. We will begin with the procurement of an estimated $100 million per month in fresh fruits and vegetables, $100 million per month in a variety of dairy products, and $100 million per month in meat products. The distributors and wholesalers will then provide a pre-approved box of fresh produce, dairy, and meat products to food banks, community and faith based organizations, and other non-profits serving Americans in need.https://www.usda.gov/media/press-releases/2020/03/26/usda-feeds-kids-helps-families-during- COVID-19 -emergency

States also provide the food to other types of local organizations, such as community action agencies, which distribute the foods directly to low-income households. These local organizations distribute USDA Foods to eligible recipients for household consumption or use them to prepare and serve meals in a congregate setting. Under TEFAP, states also receive administrative funds to support the storage and distribution of USDA Foods. These funds must, in part, be passed down to local agencies. TEFAP is administered at the federal level by the Food and Nutrition Service, an agency of the USDA.

Organizations that distribute food for home use must determine household eligibility by applying income standards set by the State. Organizations that provide prepared meals must demonstrate that they serve predominately low-income persons.(B). Households that meet State eligibility criteria may receive food for home use. States set income standards, which may, at the State’s discretion, be met through participation in other existing Federal, State, or local food, health, or welfare programs for which eligibility is based on income. States can adjust eligibility criteria to ensure that assistance is provided only to those households most in need.(C). Recipients of prepared meals are low-income and are not subject to a means test.

Food Sovereignty Prize - Work Team facilitators can be reached via: [mailto:[email protected] ][contact anytime for annual information]

Benefits Include: The Food Sovereignty Prize spotlights grassroots activists working for a more democratic food system. Honorees are recognized for promoting food sovereignty by:

•Addressing Racism and Creating Leadership Structures that Reflect Frontline Communities•Defending Rights of Mother Earth and Defense of the Commons•Immigrant Rights and Trade•Fighting Against Land and Resource Grabs for Comprehensive Land Reform

The Food Sovereignty Prize was first awarded in 2009 as an alternative to the World Food Prize founded by “the father of the Green Revolution,” the late Norman Borlaug. While the World Food Prize emphasizes increased production through technology, the Food Sovereignty Prize champions solutions coming from those most impacted by the injustices of the global food system. In honoring those who are taking back their food systems, the Food Sovereignty Prize affirms that nothing short of the true democratization of our food system will enable us to end hunger once and for all.

The Food Sovereignty Prize was developed by the International Links Committee of the Community Food Security Coalition and is awarded by the US Food Sovereignty Alliance.

2018 Winners of the Food Sovereignty Prize:- Organización Boricuá de Agricultura Ecológica de Puerto Rico - Black Mesa Water Coalition (Navajo and Hopi communities)
