This project will support historically underserved farmers, ranchers, foresters, and their communities by strengthening a community-led cooperative development ecosystem. The project will increase awareness of the cooperative model among historically underserved farmers, ranchers, foresters, and the organizations that assist them; create culturally appropriate resources to develop and run cooperatively owned businesses; develop a cadre of cooperative developers with economic and cultural ties and experience with historically underserved communities; and research policy and regulatory factors that encourage sustainable cooperative development.
