Leadership Development and Civic Engagement – ALBA engages limited-resource farmers in basic civics and policy education, broader networking, and providing testimony to elected officials, where possible. We seek to advance farmers’ understanding of the relevance of public policy to their business and family concerns. ALBA translates and distributes policy information, generates opportunities for policy makers to meet limited-resource farmers, and facilitates networking among farmers and policy coalitions both regionally and nationwide.
