FARM COMMONS PROVIDES SUSTAINABLE FARMERS WITH THE PROACTIVE LEGAL RESOURCES THEY NEED TO BECOME THE STABLE, RESILIENT FOUNDATION OF A COMMUNITY BASED FOOD SYSTEM. WE EDUCATE FARMERS ON FARM LAW, CULTIVATE POSITIVE TRANSACTIONAL SOLUTIONS, AND FOSTER FARMER LEADERSHIP IN TRANSACTIONAL LAW.
EDUCATION IS FARM COMMONS' PROGRAM AND OUR SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. IN 2019 WE HOSTED 15 WORKSHOPS FOR FARMERS AND NON-FARMING AGRICULTURE PROFESSIONALS ON THE 10 ESSENTIAL LEGAL BEST MANGEMENT PRACTICES FOR FARMERS. WE EMPHASIZED REACHING OUR NON-FARMER PROFESSIONAL AUDIENCE WITH 6 WORKSHOPS EXCLUSIVELY FOR NON-FARMERS. EACH NON-FARMING PROFESSIONAL THAT WE REACH, IN TURN REACHES 21 ADDITIONAL FARMERS WITH OUR RISK REDUCTION ACTION STEPS, SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVING ACHIEVEMENT OF OUR MISSION. OUR FARMER WORKSHOPS WERE ALSO VERY SUCCESSFUL, WITH 70% OF THE FARMERS WE REACHED IMPLEMENTED AT LEAST ONE SIGNIFICANT, RISK REDUCING CHANGE WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF ENGAGING WITH FARM COMMONS. WE TRAINED 23 NEW FARMER LEADERS AS WELL, GIVING LOCAL COMMUNITES CAPACITY TO ADDRESS THEIR BUSINESS LAW ISSUES BEYOND A FARM COMMONS WORKSHOP. IN TOTAL, OVER 6000 FARMERS BENEFITED FROM FARM COMMONS' WORK IN 2019 EITHER THROUGH OUR WORKSHOPS, OUR ONLINE RESOURCES, AND THROUGH OUR NETWORK OF NON-FARMING PROFESSIONALS.
