Farmer Support: Access to Land, Capital, and Markets

This act establishes a new program to support farmers, especially those historically underserved and operating in high-poverty areas. It aims to facilitate their access to land, capital for development, and markets, which can help in establishing and maintaining a farm. The program seeks to prevent land loss and support the transition of farms to the next generation.
Key points
The program offers grants and other financial support to organizations assisting farmers with land acquisition, reducing loan costs, and securing clear property titles.
Support also includes help with business planning, financial management, access to government programs, and language assistance for non-English speaking individuals.
Priority will be given to projects providing direct financial assistance to farmers, protecting land from speculation, and facilitating the transfer of farms to the next generation.
