Program Description
The Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund (FSC/LAF) is a resource and advocacy organization involving 25,000 lowincome rural families, organized into 100 cooperatives, credit unions and community-based economic development groups across the South. Organized in 1967, the Federation has a quarter of a century of direct, cuttingedge experience working with rural poor people who are trying to help themselves end the cycle of poverty. Members learn to implement sustainable farming practices, develop locally controlled businesses and to participate in cooperatives. The Federation also has an 850-acre Rural Training and Research Center located in Epes, Alabama. The Federation works with a number of organizations to help secure humane, inclusive and accessible rural development policies for all rural people and communities.
