Latino Agricultural
Entrepreneurship
Project Updates
 LAEP is an
interdisciplinary and
multistate USDA-funded
research and extension
project led by the
Cambio Center.
The Latino
Agricultural
Entrepreneurship
Project is designed to
explore the needs of
Latino farmers, to
understand their
unique livelihood
strategies, and better
prepare agencies to
work with Latino
farmers. This
year, project faculty
and staff have
completed focus groups
of service providers
and Latino farmers in
the three states of
Missouri, Iowa, and
Michigan. We are
currently working on
the coding and
analysis of the focus
groups and interviews,
and preparing a survey
to better understand
Latino farmers’
livelihood strategies.
