Description
The
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Institute of Food and
Agriculture (NIFA) announced the Enhancing Agricultural Opportunities for
Military Veterans, USDA-NIFA-OP-006669. The Enhancing Agricultural
Opportunities for Military Veterans Program provides grants to non-profits to
increase the number of military veterans gaining knowledge and skills through
comprehensive, hands-on and immersive model farm and ranch programs offered
regionally that lead to successful careers in the food and agricultural sector.
The program encourages the development of training opportunities specifically
designed for military veterans. AgVets
projects will offer onsite, hands-on training and classroom education leading to
a comprehensive understanding of successful farm and ranch operations and
management practices. Projects may also offer workforce readiness and employment
prospects for service-disabled veterans. NIFA does not
require matching support for this program.
