Growing the Local Food Economy through the Mid-South Food LINC Value Chain
Growers in the Mississippi River Delta areas of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee have a long history and deep knowledge base of growing a variety of types of produce and other crops. The fertile Delta soil can produce nearly anything that consumers would want to purchase and eat. Communities Unlimited (CU)serves as a local food coordinator to identify market opportunities and areas with limited food access and make connections with area growers who are able to meet those needs.
