Asian American farmers have long encountered federal and local government obstacles to owning and renting land for farming and ranching. The Transition Incentives Program was established in 2008 to support owners of conservation land to lease or sell to new farmers. Asian American farmers and ranchers should be informed of this and other programs and included in new and beginning farmer programs.
There are nearly 7 million AAPIs eligible to vote, and our electoral power is growing in both urban and rural areas.
There are roughly 18,000 Asian American farm operators in the U.S., farming almost 2 million acres.
