Luna County Growing Food Connections is part of a United States Department of Agriculture and National Institute of Food and Agriculture funded project.
We are a coalition of representatives from government, non-profits, business and agriculture working to address food policies in our community.
Luna County was one of eight counties across the nation selected as a Community of Opportunity for the GFC project. COOs were selected through an extensive, competitive process for GFC to provide assistance and training to help local governments and their partners strengthen food systems through planning and policy.
