About Us

LFRI has evolved into an international organization with the capacity to eventually offer our members, farmers and ranchers the complete spectrum of support, advocacy, and technical assistance to develop the regenerative, sustainable and diversified farming systems that potentially can help them develop sustainable businesses and to take the lead in improving local food systems. Through the development of diversified and resilient food products nutritious food can be made available locally through organic farms, farmers markets, cooperatives. In addition, innovative techniques such as mobile markets that deliver food to isolated schools and food deserts are also viable when we enter into effective partnerships.

Latino Farmers and Ranchers International is a national and international organization that works in coordination with other national organizations to seek benefits and opportunities for small and medium-scale fruit and vegetable producers. Our organization has members in different states in the U.S. committed to carry out activities in favor of production. In addition, we promote many of the programs of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) so that producers who speak Spanish and other languages obtain benefits and improve their living conditions, and in turn participate to strengthen the local, regional, national and global food system that must meet the daily demand.

Our organization is committed to always incorporating more organizations and groups of producers with whom we can learn to identify needs and, at certain times, search for solutions. Collaboratively, organizations that participate with us are always networking and exchanging information resources on production, marketing, food safety regulations, export and import regulations for agricultural products and the issue of workers, as well as the programs that exist for their hiring periods. We repeatedly invite these members to participate in events and conferences that we promote and organize.
