Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food (KYF2) Initiative launched in 2009, has the mission of strengthening the critical connection between farmers, consumers, local and regional food systems.
Utilize the KYF2 Compass map to understand the efforts supported by the USDA and its partners. The interactive map includes data and resources on all your farm to table needs!
