Our certification programs are administered by a collection of extension specialists, associates, faculty and research professionals, all from experienced backgrounds and committed to educate, train, support, and enhance the skill and abilities of Louisiana citizens, communities, small farms, and businesses:

  1. To increase the income of small businesses.
  2. Train for safer locally grown and prepared food practices.
  3. Increase knowledge of farm food safety practices.
  4. Better production practices for small ruminant producers and other small farmers.
  5. Enhance opportunities for transitioning farmers.
  6. And to enhance employment opportunities for graduates of the certification courses to prepare them for a technological, skilled, and globalized workforce.

The Certification Programs are offered through funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development through a collaboration with the State of Louisiana Division of Administration Office of Community Development.
