Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) and the Native American Agriculture Fund (NAAF) have partnered to gather critical input from Native American U.S. military veterans working in the agricultural industry.
The goal of the partnership is to generate responses to NAAF’s veteran survey and the feedback will be incorporated into their long-term vision for providing an infrastructure framework to harness Indian Country’s economic and nutritional potential to recover from COVID-19.
The survey is open for responses through March 7 and can be completed at NativeAmericanAgricultureFund.org. The questionnaire aims to understand how Native veterans are involved in food production and agriculture; the financial, business, and technical needs of Native veterans and Native food entrepreneurs; and how to connect Native veteran farmers, ranchers, fishers, and growers more seamlessly with NAAF grantees to realize the vision and mission of NAAF.
