Ohio communities that want to try innovative ways to enhance the viability of local agriculture and the health of area farms can apply for funding from the Center for Farmland Policy Innovation at Ohio State University.

The center, which works with local communities on their farmland protection priorities, has issued a request for proposals focusing on community-based agricultural economic development.

Proposals are due Oct. 31, 2008. The center expects to allot mini-grants in the range of $1,000 to $10,000 per project.
