An initiative spearheaded by three Texas entities seeks to assist the next generation of agricultural producers, helping to secure the future of national food security.<\/p>\n

The partnership between the Texas General Land Office, Texas Farm Bureau, and Texas A&M University focuses on assisting beginner Texas agriculture producers by providing education, mentorship, and \u201ca pathway towards farming or ranching.\u201d<\/p>\n

Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham<\/a> said that the partnership is all about giving the next generation \u201ca pathway into agriculture\u201d and \u201cputting Texas land to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFood security is national security, and that security starts with making sure we have the people and the land needed to produce the food our families depend on,\u201d said<\/a> Buckingham. \u201cThe number of farms in America is declining, our agricultural workforce is getting older, and we must prepare today for who will feed Texas tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buckingham\u2019s office says that this partnership is a continuation of the GLO\u2019s \u201cTexas Engine Initiative<\/a>,\u201d a vision \u201cfor putting Texas\u2019s land and natural resources to work to strengthen our state today and to secure America\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are five \u201cinterconnected pillars\u201d in this broader initiative, including helping to protect working land, conserve water, and ensuring the next generation has the opportunity to carry forward the legacy of feeding Texas and the U.S. forward.
\u00a0
As part of the initiative with Texas Farm Bureau and Texas A&M University, the GLO will explore ways to provide producers with access to state lands.<\/p>\n

According to the Texas Farm Bureau, information<\/a> on upcoming land leases will be made available to its members.<\/p>\n

Buckingham also highlighted Texas A&M University\u2019s \u201cunmatched agricultural research, education, and extension expertise\u201d that it will bring to the partnership.<\/p>\n

Texas A&M AgriLife Extension currently offers a variety of online resources, programs, and courses for beginner ranchers and farmers, which can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
