 # Project Title
-
-Simple overview of use/purpose.
+🧑‍🌾 Mississippi Farm to School Network
 
 ## Description
 
-An in-depth paragraph about your project and overview of use.
+This is a fullstack (svelte + express + postgres) application for the Mississippi Farm to School Network (MFSN). MFSN is a statewide nonprofit helping schools access fresh produce from local farms. In more detail, their focus is helping schools and farmers navigate procurement processes and strengthening local food systems across Mississippi.
+
+MFSN currently faces difficulties in efficiently connecting farmers with schools, accessing up-to-date farm information, and providing visibility (particularly for minority farmers and small producers).
+
+The current process is manual, time-intensive, and involves significant back-and-forth communication between all parties.
