This federal Project Grant award of $750,000, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture under the Outreach and Assistance for Socially Disadvantaged and Veteran Farmers and Ranchers program (CFDA 10.443), will fund training and technical assistance for Latine and other socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers in California. The goal is to help these agricultural producers protect their farm income, access land and capital, and utilize USDA programs to build their business assets and land ownership. The award recipient, California FarmLink, is a non-profit organization that provides a range of services to independent farmers and ranchers, including business training, financial assistance, legal guidance, and conservation support, often focused on underserved communities. The funding will allow California FarmLink to continue delivering these types of services to aid socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers in the region.
