TAI continues to support the National Association of Farmers Market Nutrition Programs (NAFMNP) and participated in their annual conference in Indianapolis. The first in-person gathering for two years, the members of the 501(c)3 were happy to convene and discuss program best practices, hear from USDA Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) representatives, and learn about new technologies available for their programs.
