SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee was established pursuant to section 14008 of the Food Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, Public Law 110–246, 122 Stat. 1651, 2008 (7 U.S.C. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:49 Jun 08, 2023 Jkt 259001 2279), to ensure that socially disadvantaged farmers have equal access to USDA programs. The Secretary selected a diverse group of members representing a broad spectrum of persons to recommend solutions to the challenges of minority farmers and ranchers. The members also advise the Secretary on implementation of section 2501 of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (the 2501 Program); maximizing the participation of minority farmers and ranchers in USDA programs; and civil rights activities within the Department relative to participants in its programs. Agenda: Following on from the public meeting held in Tucson, AZ, the ACMF will review and revisit those agency documents, accompanying transcripts, subsequent research, and public comments, on USDA programs, services, and policies. During the upcoming meeting, the ACMF will focus on overarching topics distilled from prior presentations, updated research, and planning discussions, to consider and build final recommendations in the following order: Farm Service Agency (county committees; heirs’ property); Rural Development (section 504 Dilapidated Housing; Health Care Infrastructure); Agricultural Marketing Services (community-based support; funding for food and other services; outreach and dissemination of information; specific requests of AMS subject matter experts); United States Department of Agriculture around these topics relevant for all agencies: Outreach and Communications—Build and Expand—Better and Smarter to effectively reach and engage more people in hard-to-reach places and situations; eliminate systemic and transactional barriers (particularly those that are unique to 1890s); and manage through impediments to build or rebuild rural infrastructure (e.g., hospitals, healthcare centers, power grids) and encouraging youth engagement in agriculture. And finally, the ACMF will consider recommendations for alternative means by which the USDA may more equitably manage its internal processes, incorporate efficiencies to make those processes more user-friendly for new minority farming or ranching businesses, and deliver enhanced support for those farmers and ranchers with existing operations in minority farming communities.
