The project addressed management and mitigation approaches related to production, financial, and human risks and provide information available to beginning, Latino, limited resources (LR), and socially disadvantaged (SD) specialty crop producers on how to identify and mitigate risk, including crop insurance and disaster assistance programs. The activities aimed to help producers improve their economic sustainability by deepening their knowledge of risk management and mitigation issues, encouraging behavioral change, and promoting the development of relationships with insurance agents, educators, and technical service providers.
