Our producer-led steering committee advises on producer engagement, contributes to policy design and makes recommendations on other opportunities that support RIPE’s mission. It is made up of a diverse group of state, regional, and national trade associations and producer groups.
-
RIPE’s Farmer Advisory Network (FAN) is a group of motivated producer-leaders from around the country that is working to build support for RIPE’s approach. Members spread the word to other producers, share the policy with their ag associations to advance conversations with legislators, and get RIPE in the media.
Interested in joining the FAN? To learn more about membership, please fill out a request for information form and we’ll be in touch soon.

The IDEA Committee was formed through discussions with RIPE stakeholders and staff to ensure that farmers and ranchers who have historically been underserved by USDA programs are central in designing the RIPE proposal.
It is focused on raising up historically underserved producers and their perspectives to approaching climate-smart agriculture and addressing equity issues in agriculture as it relates to RIPE.
The committee is dedicated to developing a shared understanding, suggesting changes to RIPE’s work, and creating avenues of equity within the RIPE proposal.
