The Federation, which grew directly out of the civil rights movement more than 50 years ago, is a non-profit cooperative association of black farmers, landowners, and cooperatives. The mission areas of the Federation include: to develop cooperatives and credit unions as a means for people to enhance the quality of their lives and communities; to save, protect and expand land ownership by black family farmers; and to advocate policies that benefit Black and other family farmers and low-income rural communities.
