POLICY: Limited Resource Producers and FPC’s

Potentially helpful policies for Limited Resource Producers
The second part of the Limited Resource Producers report, this is a representative sampling of recent state and local government policies and practices with the potential for creating new market opportunities for local agriculture producers

Food and Agriculture Related Policies and Practices to Benefit Limited Resource Farmers
By Martin Bailkey. October 2007, 24 pages.

This new report highlights a variety of approaches for supporting the success of limited resource farmers and ranchers. It features examples from the work of 14 organizations that directly support limited resource producers, and summaries of 36 state and local government policies and practices that support these producers, sometimes indirectly.

This publication will be especially valuable to organizations working with limited resource producers (or other local and family-scale farmers), Food Policy Councils, and advocates working on farm policy issues at the local and state levels. It was authored by Martin Bailkey and produced by the Food Policy Council Program of the Community Food Security Coalition, with support from the USDA Risk Management Agency.
