Financing Farming in the U.S.

Financing Farming in the U.S. was a project designed to help increase the flow of capital into the small- and midscale farming sector. 

The nature and value of the original research findings provided spurred a network of over twenty-five national and community-based entities to collaborate on this issue. Beginning as an exploration of the obstacles and opportunities associated with financing farming production, the network included policy-makers and practitioners across the country.

This network was convened by CRFS with support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
