Join us for this webinar during which we will discuss FPAC’s resources for urban and innovative farmers and the ways in which these producers have benefitted from participating in FPAC’s programs.
FPAC agencies implement programs designed to mitigate the significant risks of farming through crop insurance, conservation programs, farm safety net programs, lending, education, and disaster programs. Learn about different opportunities for urban producers at FPAC’s agencies: Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Farm Service Agency (FSA), Risk Management Agency (RMA). After participating in the training, attendees will learn about FPAC’s resources for urban and innovative farmers and will learn about the ways in which urban farmers have benefitted from participating in FPAC’s programs.
