RESOURCES
for Black farmers, landowners, and cooperatives in the Southern Region.
OUTREACH
Outreach provides services to any population that might not otherwise have access to those services. A key component of outreach is that the group providing it is not stationary, but mobile; in other words, it involves meeting someone in need of an outreach service at the location where they are.
Compared with traditional service providers, outreach services are provided closer to where people may reside, efforts are very often voluntary, and have fewer, if any, enforceable obligations.
CLIMATE SMART
The Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund ("the Federation") was recently awarded a multi-million dollar Climate-Smart Commodities project under USDA’s Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities. The Federation serves as a designated USDA-Cooperator and will provide education, outreach, and technical assistance to underserved farmers who adopt certain climate-smart practices.
