Final report and associated research briefs (1-5) for the USDA AMS Cooperative Research Agreement “Analyzing the Diversity and Impacts of Farmers Markets Managed by Organizations” (22-TMMSD-GA-0009). The goal of the cooperative research agreement was to increase the general public’s understanding of the diverse forms that farmers markets in the United States take and the breadth of their activities. The project was conducted over two years (October 2022 to September 2024) and used mixed methods (an online environmental scan, listening sessions, focus groups, and semi-structured interviews) to explore the structures, activities, impacts and trends shaping farmers market organizations.
