Our team of researchers from UConn’s College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources and Maine Business School is organizing two focus groups to understand the differences in farm networks used by New England agribusinesses. Our goal is to explore the entrepreneurial networks of farmers and improve farmer access to critical resources. Your input will directly contribute to shaping future initiatives and policies in the agricultural sector.
