TUSCARAWAS COUNTY ANTI-DRUG COALITION

** AWARDS ISSUED PRIOR TO JANUARY 20, 2025, WERE FUNDED UNDER PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND MAY NOT REFLECT THE PRIORITIES AND POLICIES OF THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION.** LAND ACCESS IS A FUNDAMENTAL, OFTEN INSURMOUNTABLE, CHALLENGE IN OUR FOOD SYSTEM THAT PREVENTS NEW AND BEGINNING FARMERS FROM ACHIEVING VIABLE CAREERS IN AGRICULTURE. THIS CHALLENGE PERVADES COLORADO, BUT IS PARTICULARLY STARK FOR RURAL, UNDER-RESOURCED, SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED, AND VETERAN COMMUNITIES. THIS PROJECT SEEKS TO BUILD ON GUIDESTONE'S VIBRANT, STATEWIDE, LAND LINK PROGRAM BY TAPPING INTO REGIONAL LAND TRUSTS TO CREATE A MORE ROBUST NETWORK OF LAND ACCESS OPPORTUNITIES WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY WORKING WITH EXPERT PARTNERS TO REACH, EDUCATE, SUPPORT, AND ELEVATE UNDERSERVED BEGINNING FARMERS AND RANCHERS AROUND THE STATE. WE AIM TO CONCRETELY BENEFIT NEW AND BEGINNING FARMERS AND RANCHERS BY (1) IMPROVING THE REACH, QUALITY AND ACCESSIBILITY OF OUR EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES, (2) WORKING CLOSELY WITH AG LANDOWNERS TO BUILD OPPORTUNITIES, (3) HOSTING A VARIETY OF AUDIENCE TAILORED LAND ACCESS WORKSHOPS WITH OUR PARTNERS, AND (4) ELEVATING THE STORIES, NEEDS, AND EXPERIENCES OF NEW AND UNDERSERVED PRODUCERS BY CREATING SPACE FOR THEM TO DELIVER PRESENTATION AND WORKSHOPS TO THE AGRICULTURE COMMUNITY. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS PROJECT CAPITALIZES ON THE MOMENTUM AND SYNERGY OF THE LAND ACCESS WORK BEING DONE IN COLORADO, AND WILL HELP TO CRYSTALIZE A ROBUST AND EQUITABLE AGRICULTURAL FUTURE IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
