Local Food and Nutrition Education Channel (LFNE):
The Local Food and Nutrition Education Channel (LFNE) has three primary goals:
-
To support and provide technical assistance to non-profit, community-based organizations, resulting in the implementation of innovative nutrition education activities among the Network target audience. LFNE partners conduct anti-hunger, food justice, and economic development efforts, and represent and/or partner with entities with expertise in: 1) nutrition education, 2) food security, 3) obesity and chronic disease prevention, and 4) working with under-served communities
-
To provide other Network-funded projects with promising practices regarding nutrition education and food stamp promotion. This goal is accomplished through the provision of technical assistance, the documentation and dissemination of developed materials and evaluation results, and the participation of LFNE project staff in Regional Collaboratives and other opportunities for technology transfer.
-
To facilitate program development via the Local Food and Nutrition Education Action Committee (LFNEAC), enhancing nutrition education activities and disseminating promising practices.

Local Incentive Award Programs:
The Incentive Award Programs were created to increase nutrition education and physical activity promotion to Food Stamp recipients and other low-income Californians. Public and nonprofit agencies that are currently providing qualifying activities to the Network audience are encouraged to participate in the Local Incentive Award (LIA) or Nonprofit Incentive Award (NIA) Programs.
If an agency is a public or nonprofit agency and is currently using non-federal funds to provide nutrition education and physical activity promotion programs to the Network audience, the Network will provide up to 50 percent of the agencies existing budget or State Share to be used for new or additional qualifying activities also known as Federal Share. These Federal Share activities must be in addition to the agencies existing activities. State Share contributions qualify for federal financial participation [FFP] dollars from USDA’s Food Stamp Program.
