NGFN Webinar: Assessment Tools for Improving Farmer Financial Skills

November 21, 2013

This webinar from the National Good Food Network focuses on three assessment-centered tools and programs. First, a tool for farmer trainers themselves – to assess the strengths of the trainer’s knowledge as well as assess students’ knowledge at the outset and their subsequent progress. Second, how Annie’s Project integrates such an assessment tool as a part of the curriculum. And third, an entry level training tool that walks farmers through farm business cash flow analysis in an approachable way. Register here.
