Abstract
There are two primary sources of data for this project. The first is the community of practice—the community collaborators and advisors we engage as part of the project. They will share what they believe to be their needs in terms of being able to provide effective support to the Latino entrepreneur-farmers. The second and principal source of data will be the Latino entrepreneur-farmers. A variant on a “wealth-based” approach to rural economic development will be applied to research and outreach efforts to match family or household capitals (assets) possessed by Latino farmers and farm worker families with opportunities to utilize those capitals. We will utilize a capitals framework at both the household and community levels to assess potentials for enhanced rural development. Similarly, we will document their levels of human, cultural, political, natural, financial, and build capital, and assess how those assets can be utilized and combined in new ways to improve their life quality and livelihood options. We expect that if household livelihood strategies can be enhanced and options expanded, that this would in turn strengthen capitals at the community level.
