Carolina Farm Trust
In North Carolina, people in nearly 590,000 households do not have enough food to eat each day. North Carolina has the 10th highest rate of food insecurity in the nation. The result of losing nearly 100,000 acres of farmland to development has led to food insecurity among over 15% of all residents. In Mecklenburg County, 22% of children experience food insecurity. Carolina Farm Trust's Local Foods Production & Distribution Center, being constructed on Charlotte's West Side, will address these disparities head on. This first of its kind project will serve both residential and commercial customers by buying and selling real food, for real people. Foundational to the project are principles of equity, with a focus on access and affordability, in order to connect equity-seeking communities with food that is flavorful, vibrant, and packed with nutrition. The Local Foods Production & Distribution Center will provide:\n\n-A reliable, year-round source of fresh, affordable, nutrient-dense foods, including value-added products, for constituents\n-A reliable, year-round marketplace for farmers and agripreneurs to sell their products, including value-added products\n-Educational opportunities\n-Employment pathways\n-Entrepreneurial development

Procurement pursuit intelligence
This project has been enacted. FFID maps funded projects to likely downstream procurement channels — including recipient portals, state and local systems, agency programs, and Grants.gov. SAM.gov is monitored, but many CPF/CDS-funded opportunities appear first through recipient or state/local procurement systems.
