Farmer-to-Farmer Education Act
The Farmer-to-Farmer Education Act aims to facilitate farmer-to-farmer conservation education by increasing support for farmer-led education networks and to build capacity for new ones—particularly for historically marginalized communities. Farmer-to-farmer education provides the critical missing piece that enables farmers to overcome adoption barriers by having someone with firsthand experience share both the benefits and challenges of practice adoption. Learning from other farmers can help answer key questions about perceived risks to yield, labor costs, and product quality that can prevent farmers from trying a new practice.
