Description
The Healthy Food Financing Fund (HFFF) is a competitive grant program administered by the New Mexico Economic Development Department, aiming to boost economic growth and food security across New Mexico. The fund invests in projects that enhance the food and agricultural supply chain—including food retailers, processors, distributors, and climate-smart pre-production businesses—with a strong focus on supporting historically under-resourced communities. Eligible projects may address food-safe storage, distribution, transportation, regenerative agriculture, and workforce development, all with the goal of building a more resilient and equitable food system in New Mexico.
