This proposal targets beginning farmer refugees and people of color in the urban areas of Tucson (IRC & UACE) and Phoenix (Spaces of Opportunity & UACE) plus Indigenous Peoples and other limited resource beginning producers in rural areas of northern (Flagstaff Foodlink & UACE), central (San Carlos) and southeast (UACE) Arizona. These are new nonprofit partnerships and largely new audiences for UACE to target in a BFRDP proposal. 18 BF refugees, the first which arrived in Tucson in 2017, are growing on .6 of an acre and the UA Campus Ag Center has 3-5 acres plus high tunnels that they can lease through this project to expand their production and markets. Making small-scale agricultural production more economically viable will be addressed by providing education and assistance on BFRDP priority areas of; business and entrepreneurship training, innovative land acquisition strategies, basic production practices, diversification and marketing strategies, acquiring ag. credit and risk management, recordkeeping and food safety, and mentoring. We are proposing a series of 5 workshop trainings annually for 6 locations in AZ that will complement ongoing assistance to beginning farmers provided by nonprofit partners and UACE personnel located in each of the 6 areas. We expect to provide education and assistance to 270 unique beginning producers, very intensively for 50 (daily/weekly assistance), ongoingly for 95 (monthly/quarterly education), and intermittently for 125 (bi-annually/annually).
