Dr. Glenda Humiston, vice president of the Agriculture and Natural Resources Department at the University of California, outlines the goals and plans for USDA’s Regional Food Business Centers. The $400-million program will involve establishing 12 facilities focused on the areas of food distribution from the processing level to the partnerships that help food to efficiently reach consumers. The new network will augment existing state-level programs and aims to help farm producers and food businesses expand their facilities using improved infrastructure and communications.
