The mission of the Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) is mobilizing veterans to feed America. This mission is rooted in our strong
belief that veterans possess the unique skills and character needed to strengthen rural communities and create sustainable food
systems, and that agricultural pursuits offer veterans purpose, opportunity, and documented physical and psychological
benefits.

Through the work on this project, FVC will support socially disadvantaged and underserved agricultural producers and their
communities by increasing access to USDA programs, improving economic viability and market conditions for veteran-owned
farms and ranches, enhancing the knowledge and skills of beginning farmer veterans, and offering technical assistance to over
35,000 farmer veterans across the country. FVC will accomplish this by hosting expert-led training workshops & webinars,
followed by a veteran-to-veteran peer learning model approach, and concluding with individualized technical assistance
administered by FVC's veteran service providers.
