FarmPath – Building the Next Generation of Farmers

farmpath-thumbnail

As the average U.S. farmer is nearing retirement, there is a critical need to prepare the next generation to take the reins. Yet up-and-coming farmers face several barriers: access to capital, knowledge of best practices for farm management and the support of a community of peers to provide advice and encouragement.

That’s why The Mosaic Company Foundation for Sustainable Food Systems is partnering with Farm Foundation and PepsiCo Foundation to launch FarmPath, a new program designed to build the next generation of farmers across the United States. Ann Steensland, executive director for the Mosaic Company Foundation for Sustainable Food Systems, joins us to share more details.
