In 2007, Connie Milstein, chairman of the Humpty Dumpty Institute (HDI), provided a $125,000 grant to the Farmers Market Federation of New York. 25,000 food stamps were distributed to residents of upstate NY, in hopes of increasing their purchases of fresh, locally grown produce. This program not only encouraged more purchases of fruits and vegetables, it also benefitted small family farmers of New York.
HDI is an organization which focuses on solving difficult humanitarian problems around the world. Currently, it is working to identify and eliminate UXOs (unexploded ordinances) and mines that remain hidden around the world, as well as to alleviate international and domestic hunger.
