Navigating FSA -

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that provides a variety of agricultural programs and services to farmers, ranging from farm loans, crop insurance, conservation programs, and disaster assistance programs.

RAFI-USA has developed a wide range of resources and training to help farmers understand what FSA programs might benefit their operations and how to access them. We also are able to provide one-on-one FSA loan technical assistance to farmers of color located in the Southeast. U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.

RAFI-USA challenges the root causes of unjust food systems, supporting and advocating for economically, racially, and ecologically just farm communities.

We envision a thriving, sustainable, and equitable food system: where farmers and farmworkers have dignity and agency; where they are supported by just agricultural policies; where corporations and institutions are accountable to their community.

We believe that our work is inherently interconnected, and when we work together our cooperation makes us stronger and more effective.
