Description
The
purpose of this cooperative agreement program is to deliver crop insurance education
and risk management training to U.S. agricultural producers to assist them in
identifying and managing production, marketing, legal, financial, and human
risk.
The
program gives priority to: (1) educating producers of crops currently not
insured under Federal crop insurance, specialty crops, and underserved
commodities, including livestock and forage; and (2) providing collaborative
partnerships to develop and deliver crop insurance education and other risk
management training. Education activities developed under the Risk Management
Education Partnerships Program will provide U.S. farmers and ranchers,
including limited resource, socially disadvantaged, and other traditionally
under-served farmers and ranchers with training and information opportunities
to be able to understand:
1.
The kinds of risks addressed by existing and emerging risk management tools;
2.
The features and appropriate use of existing and emerging risk management
tools; and
3.
How to make sound risk management decisions.
