Mississippi Association of Cooperatives

The Mississippi Association of Cooperatives (MAC) was established in 1972 as an affiliate of the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund (1967). A nonprofit organization, MAC serves farmers, their families and communities in increasing their livelihood security and improving quality of life. Building from a tradition steeped in the Civil Rights Movement, MAC provides technical assistance and advocates for the needs of its members in the areas of cooperative development and networking, sustainable production, marketing and community food security.

This grant supports training activities related to sustainable crop production, food safety, and marketing in a commitment to work with cooperative businesses members, socially disadvantaged farmers and veteran farmers and ranchers, LGBTQIA2S+ farmers, and rural farm families.
