CDFA Food Systems Finance Webinar Series: Sustaining Food and Farm Investment Amid Federal Funding Shifts

While funding freezes and program rollbacks have created new challenges for advancing local food infrastructure, equitable market access, and resilient regional supply chains, opportunities still exist to capitalize small and mid-sized food and farm businesses, especially when public, private, and philanthropic resources are creatively combined. This installment of the CDFA Food Systems Finance Webinar Series explores how food systems projects can remain viable and impactful amidst shifting federal priorities and how practitioners across sectors continue building creative financial frameworks to move their work forward. Speakers share lessons learned and strategies for structuring capital stacks, leveraging remaining federal tools, and identifying flexible sources of financing that support food and farm entrepreneurs.
