Part III, Line 4a, (continued)	NEILFN advanced its mission through three primary pillars: Research & Strategy, Local Food Access, and Community Engagement. System Resiliency & Research: Following a year-long, data-driven Local Food Needs Assessment involving over 500 residents, NEILFN published a comprehensive report and "Call to Action" to guide regional resource investment. This initiative fosters a shared understanding of system gaps, empowering local governments and funders to align efforts toward economic growth and public health. Health & Obtainable Food: Through the Local Food For All Fund, NEILFN works to ensure nutritious, local food is obtainable for low-income and low-access families. This includes managing programs like Double Up Indiana, which provides SNAP/EBT price incentives, and the Power of Produce (POP) program, which offers nutrition education and market vouchers to children. Economic Viability & Market Access: NEILFN maintains a search-able Local Food Guide and hosts the annual Local Food Week, a 10-day event connecting hundreds of families directly to farmers. The organization further strengthens the regional food economy by providing technical assistance through the Indiana Food Business Consultants Cohort, helping farm and food entrepreneurs scale their operations. Education & Connection: Through Farm to School initiatives and regional networking events, NEILFN fosters vital connections between producers and institutional buyers, ensuring that local agriculture remains at the heart of the community's long-term health and self-sufficiency.
