The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) awarded a $2,121,750 Project Grant under the Agriculture Risk Management Education Partnerships Competitive Grants Program (CFDA 10.520) to the University of Delaware. The primary purpose of this grant is to provide U.S. agricultural producers and their families with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to make informed risk management decisions that enhance the profitability of their operations. The University of Delaware, as the Northeast Regional Extension Risk Management Education (ERME) Center, will conduct a competitive grants program to fund educational projects designed to improve agricultural producers' ability to effectively manage production, marketing, financial, legal, and human resource risks. The center will pay particular attention to addressing the risk management education needs of underserved populations, including those underserved by the federal crop insurance program. The project will be conducted from September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2027.
