Risk management education partnership program

This Cooperative Agreement award of $104,915.60 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency (CFDA 10.460 - Risk Management Education Partnerships) supports Georgia Organics, Inc., a non-profit organization in Atlanta, Georgia, in delivering comprehensive risk management training and educational resources to agricultural producers across the state.

The project, running from September 2024 to February 2026, will focus on helping farmers and ranchers, particularly producers of specialty crops and crops not covered by federal crop insurance, effectively manage production, marketing, financial, legal, and human risks through the development and implementation of educational materials, workshops, training sessions, and outreach activities. This award is part of the Risk Management Education Partnerships program, which aims to enhance agricultural producers' risk management capabilities and support underserved farming communities.
