Minority Farmers
Minority farmers are individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups who engage in agricultural activities. This includes African American, Hispanic, Native American, and Asian American farmers, among others. They often face unique challenges, such as limited access to land, financial resources, and markets, which can hinder their ability to succeed in farming.
Efforts to support minority farmers include programs from organizations like the U.S. Department of Agriculture and various non-profits. These initiatives aim to provide resources, training, and funding to help minority farmers overcome barriers and promote diversity in the agricultural sector.
