The Jordan College of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (JCAST) at Fresno State, in conjunction with the Plant Science Department is developing the:

Agricultural Advancement Program which aims to provide Veteran and Underserved Farmers, Ranchers, or Foresters with:

• one-on-one technical assistance.

• agricultural educational workshops.

• agriculturally relevant information.

While a focus of the program is to facilitate farmers to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and California Department of Agriculture (CDFA) products.

The program seeks to collaborate with local organizations, agencies, coalitions, and nonprofits to promote: business growth, ease of access to information, awareness of funding or market opportunities, along with assistance in developing an increased digital footprint for farmers.
