USDA Underserved farm status


A goal of Pasa’s Climate-Smart Farming and Marketing program is to prioritize funding projects for farmers who have historically encountered barriers to accessing funds through the USDA. For this program, the USDA includes beginning farmers, historically under-resourced farmers, and veteran farmers; and generally includes women farmers and farmers growing specialty crops as underserved.

Additional demographic information


Pasa recognizes that there are other groups of historically underserved farmers who may fall outside of these definitions, and therefore we are asking for additional information about the identities of your farm business owners and/or leadership.
