Farm and food businesses feed us, help keep our environment healthy, can mitigate climate change, and support our regional economy—so we need them to be viable, thriving businesses. Business technical assistance ensures they can succeed.
The Agricultural Viability Alliance network will increase the number and economic viability of farm and food businesses by bringing together providers and organizations from across New England and New York’s Hudson Valley to address shared challenges, facilitate more uniform high-quality coverage, and more effectively share and expand limited resources.
This project serves business technical assistance providers and organizations that will ultimately support long-term farm and food-enterprise viability in the region. In addition to our economic impact, our work also fosters a more equitable and inclusive sector that engages traditionally underserved communities, and we support and strengthen entrepreneurs who help conserve farmland and mitigate the effects of climate change for generations to come.
Farm and food businesses are a critical piece of just about every local economy—urban and rural, state and regional, wealthy or marginalized. Especially in (but not limited to) rural areas, they create jobs, build wealth and capital, drive community development, produce healthy and culturally appropriate food, and offer unique opportunities to new entrants.
