Abstract: The USDA, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), is pursuing several initiatives to improve access to healthy foods among the general public and nutrition assistance program participants. Among these are steps to support the availability of farmers’ markets and direct access to farm products. FNS’ overall objective is to promote direct-to-consumer agriculture through farmers’ markets and provide more opportunities for nutrition assistance program participants to take advantage of this source of fresh produce. In order to meet this objective, FNS needs to understand how the federal nutrition assistance programs operate in the diverse settings represented by farmers’ markets and the factors that influence farmers’ markets to participate in nutrition assistance programs. To this end, FNS is conducting a survey with a representative sample of farmers’ markets from four strata that are of particular interest to FNS: 1. SNAP authorized farmers’ markets that redeemed benefits during the 2010 season; E:\FR\FM\23MRN1.SGM 23MRN1
