We cultivate a new generation of farmers and food leaders, <br />and develop viable employment and meaningful careers through the <br />collaboration of the farming and military communities. We aspire to lead <br />the national effort connecting veterans to agriculture. We believe that <br />veterans possess the unique skills and character needed to strengthen <br />rural communities and create sustainable food systems for all. We believe <br />that food production offers purpose, opportunity, and physical and <br />psychological benefits. <br />The Lomax Agricultural Learning Center will partner with the Farmer Veteran Coalition <br />and local veteran organizations to support veterans in our region who aspire to learn <br />more about the occupational opportunities in agriculture. This will mean creating <br />awareness regarding the different learning opportunities at Lomax but also using the <br />network and resources of Farmer Veteran Coalition to make connections between <br />Lomax and aspiring farmer veterans. <br />Attachment number 3 <br />G -2 Page 177 <br />
