Agribusiness Strategy Classes

The Farm Funding, Grants, and Agribusiness Strategy Initiative is designed to strengthen the financial backbone of farmers, ranchers, and agricultural entrepreneurs by providing the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to build sustainable farm businesses. This initiative focuses on improving access to strategies that increase profitability opportunities while equipping participants with tailored agribusiness models that align with their goals.

Through a blend of training workshops, technical assistance, and one-on-one coaching, you will learn how to identify and apply for federal, state, and private grant opportunities; develop loan-ready business plans; and design growth strategies that expand production, improve market access, and increase profitability. The initiative also emphasizes risk management, cooperative development, and value-added product strategies, ensuring you not only access funding but also leverage it for long-term stability.

The ultimate goal is to empower farmers to thrive as business owners, reduce barriers for underserved agricultural communities, and create a stronger, more resilient local and regional food economy.
