As part of their work with the Native American Agriculture Fund, the Farmer Veterans Coalition is connecting with Native veterans to get critical input to help shape regional food and agriculture infrastructure in Indian Country.
The vision, which is outlined in the white paper “Reimagining Native Food Economies: A Vision for Native Food and Agriculture Infrastructure Rebuilding and Recovery,” includes developing 10 regional food hubs throughout the country that would provide infrastructure for Native producers to process, transport, and package Native grown foods and agriculture products.
The Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) is working with the Native American Agriculture Fund (NAAF) to determine:
1. How Native veterans are involved in food production and agriculture.
2. The financial, business and technical assistance needs of Native veterans and Native food entrepreneurs; and
3. How to connect Native veteran farmers, ranchers, fishers and growers more seamlessly with NAAF grantees to realize the vision and mission of NAAF.
The questionnaire only takes a few minutes and can be completed by clicking the button below.
