The aim of PPS’ Public Market Program is to foster the role of public markets in reconnecting local economies and communities and to support the pivotal role markets play in supporting public health and local food systems.

For 25 years, PPS has provided assistance to market sponsors, managers, and community development officials in more than 200 cities and towns around the world–helping public markets become economically sustainable centers of community life.  Through training programs, conferences, research and projects, the Public Markets Program promotes new models and innovative practices for public markets that achieve broad benefits for communities.
