You’re in luck … there is! In recent years, value-added agriculture, as it’s called, allows those tied to ag to add value to their agricultural products, tap into new markets, create unique products and increase their overall revenue.\n\nIn Missouri, the combination of agricultural strengths and a robust support system makes it an ideal environment for pursuing value-added production. So if you’re connected to the ag space in the Show-Me State, listen up because this is a genius way to expand your profits and reach new customers.\n\n### **What is Value-Added Agriculture?**\n\nValue-added agriculture refers most generally to manufacturing processes that increase the value of primary agricultural commodities.\n\nA value-added activity is an activity traditionally performed at another stage in the supply chain or one that has never been performed. For example, a farmer could sell produce directly to restaurants or host festivals at the farm.\n\nThrough value-added production and marketing, farms convert an agricultural commodity or byproduct into a good that has more value than the inputs used to make it. Because the farm creates added value, it also can capture a higher price than it could if the inputs were sold alone.\n\nThese activities may increase net farm incomes, but producers should first see if the value-added activity is right for them.\n\n### **Local Resources**\n\nThere are many ways to add value to agriculture and increase net farm income. Starting a new enterprise has risks, so ag producers should carefully assess alternatives. Luckily, Missouri has several resources in place to help.\n\n[**Missouri Agricultural and Small Business Authority**](https://mosourcelink.com/resource-navigator/detail/60246/571/)\n\nThe Missouri Agricultural and Small Business Authority is a division of the Missouri Department of Agriculture that makes grants, loans, loan guarantees and tax credits available to Missouri farmers, independent producers and agribusinesses. There are several grants and loan programs in Missouri that provide specialized support for value-added producers:\n\n* The [Missouri Agribusiness Revolving Loan Fund](https://agriculture.mo.gov/abd/financial/revolvingloan.php) offers financing to qualifying Missouri agribusinesses, such as value-added agriculture enterprises, agriculture support businesses, marketers or retailers of agricultural products and businesses with emerging agricultural technology.\n* The [Missouri Value-Added Agriculture Loan Guarantee Program](https://agriculture.mo.gov/abd/financial/valaddloan.php) provides a 50% first-loss guarantee to lenders who make agricultural business development loans for agricultural property used for the purpose of processing, manufacturing, marketing, exporting and adding value to an agricultural product.\n* The [Missouri Value-Added Agriculture “Farm to Table” Grant Program](https://agriculture.mo.gov/abd/financial/farmtotable.php) provides funding for Missouri businesses to access resources for accessing and processing locally grown agricultural products for use in institutions within the state.\n\n· The Missouri legislature has created [Show-Me Entrepreneurial Grants for Agriculture](https://missouriaginnovation.com/sega-grant-programs/) program to help farmers, small businesses and higher education institutions add value to agricultural products in Missouri or provide educational opportunities to those seeking to do so.\n\n***Not sure which is right for you?

Food safety is paramount as entrepreneurs start new food businesses. The lab is a one-stop solution center to help beginners and medium- and large-scale food processors in Missouri address food safety issues and comply with state and federal regulations.\n\nThe new lab is offering an in-person [Better Process Control School Training](https://missouriaginnovation.com/event/better-process-control-school-training/) for food processors Aug. 1-3, 2023. The three-day training will be at the Eckles Event Center on the MU campus in Columbia.\n\nLakshmikatha “Kantha” Channaiah, MU assistant professor and state extension food processing and safety specialist, will conduct the training. As Missouri’s only food process authority, Kantha validates processing protocol to ensure businesses offer safe food products.\n\nHaving a food process authority in the state is an amazing resource for food producers and food entrepreneurs in the state,” Rahe says. “For producers who really want to scale up into more markets, having access to this kind of training within the state is really important.”\n\n[Thumbnail courtesy of Kirsten Bühne via Pexels](https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-chicken-1562389/).\n\n### Share this:\n\n* [Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook](https://www.mosourcelink.com/2023/07/20/what-is-value-added-agriculture-and-how-can-it-make-a-huge-difference-in-your-business/?share=facebook&nb=1)\n* [Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X](https://www.mosourcelink.com/2023/07/20/what-is-value-added-agriculture-and-how-can-it-make-a-huge-difference-in-your-business/?share=x&nb=1)\n\n### Share this post\n\n[Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://www.mosourcelink.com/2023/07/20/what-is-value-added-agriculture-and-how-can-it-make-a-huge-difference-in-your-business/ \"Facebook\") [Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=What+Is+Value-Added+Agriculture%2C+and+How+Can+It+Make+a+Huge+Difference+in+Your+Business%3F&url=https://www.mosourcelink.com/2023/07/20/what-is-value-added-agriculture-and-how-can-it-make-a-huge-difference-in-your-business/ \"X\") [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.mosourcelink.com/2023/07/20/what-is-value-added-agriculture-and-how-can-it-make-a-huge-difference-in-your-business/&title=What+Is+Value-Added+Agriculture%2C+and+How+Can+It+Make+a+Huge+Difference+in+Your+Business%3F \"LinkedIn\") [Email](mailto:?subject=What+Is+Value-Added+Agriculture%2C+and+How+Can+It+Make+a+Huge+Difference+in+Your+Business%3F&body=https://www.mosourcelink.com/2023/07/20/what-is-value-added-agriculture-and-how-can-it-make-a-huge-difference-in-your-business/ \"Email\")\n\n### Author\n\n**[David Cawthon](https://www.mosourcelink.com/author/davidcawthon/ \"Posts by David Cawthon\")**\n\n#### Related **Posts**\n\n29May\n\n#### [This Month: Classes and Events to Grow Your Missouri Business](https://www.mosourcelink.com/2019/05/29/june-events-for-missouri-entrepreneurs/)\n\nIt's getting hot out...and so are low-to-no-cost events for Missouri's entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Value-added agriculture is a movement that has created a life of its own. It is an idea that has the potential to change production agriculture and rural America. However, we need to define What is Value-Added Agriculture? Generally there are five ways farmers have of adding value. For a more specific definition, we define value-added agriculture using [USDA Definition](https://www.agmrc.org.staging.premier.siteviz.com/value-added-agriculture).\n\nHowever, to be successful in this movement we must look further into this concept of adding value. For example, there is a difference between capturing value and creating value. Regardless of whether you capture value or create value, the bottom line is that you get paid for providing value. If your business venture does not provide value to the system, there is no reason to expect a return. So the process of creating a successful business involves the search for providing value. Providing value can be in the form of marketing a unique product, filling a market niche, simplifying the supply chain, providing a service, lowering costs, and many other ways. The more value you provide, the more return you can extract from the marketplace.\n\nFor more information on this topic, see the link listed below of articles posted on related websites:\n\n* [USDA National Agricultural Library](https://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/list-alternative-crops-and-enterprises-small-farm-diversification): List of Alternative Crops and Enterprises for Small Farm Diversification\n\nValue-added agriculture generally focuses on production or manufacturing processes, marketing or services that increase the value of primary agricultural commodities, perhaps by increasing appeal to the consumer and the consumer's willingness to pay a premium over similar but undifferentiated products. Usually, a value-added addition is a worthwhile investment because it generates higher return, allow penetration of a new, potentially high-value market, extend the production season, or perhaps create brand identity or develop brand loyalty. \n \nEvery five years or so the United States reconsiders its major food, farm and rural policies in a new “Farm Bill”. The Agricultural Act of 2014 (the current Farm Bill) funds farm programs through 2018. This omnibus bill is the primary agriculture-policy tool of the federal government and sets out much of the policy and spending priorities for the United States Department of Agriculture. \n \nSince they began in 1933, farm bills have charted direction for community programs, international agricultural trade, rural-development and conservation programs. They also impact agricultural research, farm credit and food and nutrition programs. For these regions, in various ways they also strongly target, impact and guide American value-added agriculture.\n\nOne of the foremost vehicles for value-added agricultural development is the Value-added Producer Grant Program (VAPG). The VAPG was created by the Agricultural Risk protection Act of 2000 and coalesced into the legislation enacted in the 2002 Farm Bill (P.L. 107-171, Sec. 6401). With the Agricultural Act of 2014, $40 million per year is available through the VAPG program.\n\nVAPG applications can be submitted by independent producers, farmer and rancher cooperatives, agricultural producer groups, and majority-controlled producer-based business ventures for the development and marketing of new or enhanced value-added agricultural products (including organic agricultural production). The program is administered by USDA-Rural Development.\n\n* [Agricultural Act of 2014](https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/2/text)\n* [National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition](http://sustainableagriculture.net/publications/grassrootsguide/local-food-systems-rural-development/value-added-producer-grants/): About the Value-added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program\n* [USDA Rural Development](https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/business-programs/value-added-producer-grants): Value-added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program\n\n#### A wealth of business development and other information is available at Value-added Agriculture Centers across the nation.

Many raw commodities have intrinsic value in their original state. For example, field corn grown, harvested and stored on a farm and then fed to livestock on that farm has value. In fact, value usually is added by feeding it to an animal, which transforms the corn into animal protein or meat. The value of a changed product is added value, such as processing wheat into flour. It is important to identify the value-added activities that will support the necessary investment in research, processing and marketing. The application of biotechnology, the engineering of food from raw products to the consumers and the restructuring of the distribution system to and from the producer all provide opportunities for adding value.\n\nA broad definition of value added is to economically add value to a product by changing its current place, time and from one set of characteristics to other characteristics that are more preferred in the marketplace. As a specific example, a more narrow definition would be to economically add value to an agricultural product (such as wheat) by processing it into a product (such as flour) desired by customers (such as bread bakers). Producers involved in adding value should think of themselves as members of a food company that processes and markets products to consumers. Often, this involves building processing plants in the producers’ geographical regions to process locally produced crops or animals. However, another model has occurred, which involves building the processing plant wherever it is most feasible and profitable, such as closer to where the final products will be marketed. An example of adding value to wheat through a distant processing plant is illustrated by the following case study.\n\n**Commodities vs. Products**\n\n The produce-and-then-sell mentality of the commodity business is being replaced by the strategy of first determining what attributes consumers want in their food products and then creating or manufacturing products with those attributes. With the continuous shifting to a global economy, the international market for value-added products is growing. Market forces have led to greater opportunities for product differentiation and added value to raw commodities because of:\n\n1. increased consumer demands regarding health, nutrition and convenience;\n2. efforts by food processors to improve their productivity; and\n3. technological advances that enable producers to produce what consumers and processors desire.\n\nProducers involved with adding value will become more than commodity producers absorbing all the shocks brought about by global markets in this transitional period of agriculture. They will think of themselves as producing products for end users, instead of producing only raw commodities. For example, beef producers produce table-ready meat instead of finished (slaughter-ready) animals.\n\n No longer content to sell raw commodities, some producers are striving for a larger share of the food dollar. These projects range from:\n\n1. adding value to hogs, cattle, bison, fish and eggs to\n2. marketing crops like organically grown grains, potatoes, carrots, beans, tomatoes and corn for sweeteners and fuels, to\n3. producing specialty cheeses and even alfalfa-based biomass for a local power plant.\n\nProducers have a challenge to be responsive to consumer demands by producing what is desired. Attentiveness to consumer demands in quality, variety and packaging are important, because demographic trends show growth in the convenience-oriented, health-conscious and environmentally concerned sectors where price is not as important as quality. Because value-added research is important, producers might examine competitive advantages obtainable with processed products compared to raw commodities\n\n**Approaches to Adding Value**\n\n Adding value to products can be accomplished in a number of different ways, but generally falls into one of two main types: innovation or coordination. In general, the problem is to evaluate what, where, how and who can efficiently perform the marketing functions.\n\n**Innovation**\n\n Innovation focuses on improving existing processes, procedures, products and services or creating new ones. Often, successful value-added ideas focus on very narrow, highly technical, geographically large markets where competition is sparse. Innovative value-added activities developed on farms or at agricultural experiment stations are sources of national growth through changes either in the kind of product or in the technology of production. By encouraging innovative ideas, adding value becomes a reality.\n\n Innovation also can come from research about alternative crops that can be grown successfully by producers to replace traditional crops. Value-added producers are able to economically profit by growing these alternative crops instead of traditional crops. Some alternative crops that show promise include industrial hemp for its fiber, kenaf for fiber, and castor bean for its oil.\n\n**_Industrial Innovation_**– A specific type of innovation is industrial innovation, which is processing traditional crops into nonfood end uses. These value-adding innovative activities use the research and emphasis that has been placed on finding industrial, nonfood uses for common agricultural products. Several innovative processes have been developed to transform traditional crops into nonfood products. Examples of these ventures include producing ethanol from corn, biodiesel from soybeans and particleboard from straw.\n\n**Coordination**\n\n Coordination focuses on arrangements among those that produce and market farm products. Horizontal coordination involves pooling or consolidation among individuals or companies from the same level of the food chain. An example would be hog producers combining their market hogs to make a truckload. Vertical coordination includes contracting, strategic alliances, licensing agreements and single ownership of multiple market stages in different levels of the food chain. Vertical coordination, either through ownership integration or contractual arrangements, is necessary to link production processes and product characteristics to the preferences of consumers and processors.\n\n Fundamental changes through coordination are altering traditional marketing relationships that link consumers, food retailers and wholesalers, food processors and producers. However, individual producers usually do not have sufficient levels of production to effectively produce, process and market their products. Few individuals possess all of the very different skills necessary for processing, marketing and business management, as well as staying efficient with their production enterprises. Therefore, a coordinated effort is needed to increase market efficiency or cost reduction. Many observers believe that both upstream and downstream linkages of processors will continue to increase in the 21st century.\n\n**Vertical Integration**\n\n Complete vertical integration is to align and control all of the segments of a production and marketing system under single ownership. The factors aligned and controlled are price, quantity, quality and transactional terms of exchange. Producers who invest in value-added projects past the farm gate cause the market to become more vertically integrated. A totally integrated system can provide consistent quality from the field to the shelf, eliminating middlemen and even saving money for consumers. Integration downstream towards consumers by producers commonly involves an equity investment for processing, sometimes by means of a producer owned business. So, producer owned businesses are positioned uniquely for further integration in food processing. The success of these value-added ventures hinges on thorough planning and implementation.\n\n**The Importance of Minimizing Costs**\n\n Nevertheless, before producers examine value-added processing and marketing, cost minimization in production must be achieved. Only low cost and efficient producers will be able to survive and compete in production agriculture. Adding value cannot take the place of reaching the efficiencies of production attainable through technology and economies of scale.\n\n_* Based on Value Added Industry Profile, Department of Agricultural Economics, Kansas State University._\n\n**References**\n\n Akridge, J., D.

Value-added agriculture is a movement that has created a life of its own. It is an idea that has the potential to change production agriculture and rural America. However, we need to define What is Value-Added Agriculture? Generally there are five ways farmers have of adding value. For a more specific definition, we define value-added agriculture using[USDA Definition](https://www.agmrc.org.staging.premier.siteviz.com/value-added-agriculture).\n\nHowever, to be successful in this movement we must look further into this concept of adding value. For example, there is a difference between capturing value and creating value. Regardless of whether you capture value or create value, the bottom line is that you get paid for providing value. If your business venture does not provide value to the system, there is no reason to expect a return. So the process of creating a successful business involves the search for providing value. Providing value can be in the form of marketing a unique product, filling a market niche, simplifying the supply chain, providing a service, lowering costs, and many other ways. The more value you provide, the more return you can extract from the marketplace.\n\nFor more information on this topic, see the link listed below of articles posted on related websites:\n\n* [USDA National Agricultural Library](https://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/list-alternative-crops-and-enterprises-small-farm-diversification): List of Alternative Crops and Enterprises for Small Farm Diversification\n\nValue-added agriculture generally focuses on production or manufacturing processes, marketing or services that increase the value of primary agricultural commodities, perhaps by increasing appeal to the consumer and the consumer's willingness to pay a premium over similar but undifferentiated products. Usually, a value-added addition is a worthwhile investment because it generates higher return, allow penetration of a new, potentially high-value market, extend the production season, or perhaps create brand identity or develop brand loyalty.\n\n Every five years or so the United States reconsiders its major food, farm and rural policies in a new “Farm Bill”. The Agricultural Act of 2014 (the current Farm Bill) funds farm programs through 2018. This omnibus bill is the primary agriculture-policy tool of the federal government and sets out much of the policy and spending priorities for the United States Department of Agriculture.\n\n Since they began in 1933, farm bills have charted direction for community programs, international agricultural trade, rural-development and conservation programs. They also impact agricultural research, farm credit and food and nutrition programs. For these regions, in various ways they also strongly target, impact and guide American value-added agriculture.\n\nOne of the foremost vehicles for value-added agricultural development is the Value-added Producer Grant Program (VAPG). The VAPG was created by the Agricultural Risk protection Act of 2000 and coalesced into the legislation enacted in the 2002 Farm Bill (P.L. 107-171, Sec. 6401). With the Agricultural Act of 2014, $40 million per year is available through the VAPG program.\n\nVAPG applications can be submitted by independent producers, farmer and rancher cooperatives, agricultural producer groups, and majority-controlled producer-based business ventures for the development and marketing of new or enhanced value-added agricultural products (including organic agricultural production). The program is administered by USDA-Rural Development.\n\n* [Agricultural Act of 2014](https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/2/text)\n* [National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition](http://sustainableagriculture.net/publications/grassrootsguide/local-food-systems-rural-development/value-added-producer-grants/): About the Value-added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program\n* [USDA Rural Development](https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/business-programs/value-added-producer-grants): Value-added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program\n\n#### A wealth of business development and other information is available at Value-added Agriculture Centers across the nation.

Value-added agriculture is a movement that has created a life of its own. It is an idea that has the potential to change production agriculture and rural America. However, we need to define What is Value-Added Agriculture? Generally there are five ways farmers have of adding value. For a more specific definition, we define value-added agriculture using[USDA Definition](https://www.agmrc.org.staging.premier.siteviz.com/value-added-agriculture).\n\nHowever, to be successful in this movement we must look further into this concept of adding value. For example, there is a difference between capturing value and creating value. Regardless of whether you capture value or create value, the bottom line is that you get paid for providing value. If your business venture does not provide value to the system, there is no reason to expect a return. So the process of creating a successful business involves the search for providing value. Providing value can be in the form of marketing a unique product, filling a market niche, simplifying the supply chain, providing a service, lowering costs, and many other ways. The more value you provide, the more return you can extract from the marketplace.\n\nFor more information on this topic, see the link listed below of articles posted on related websites:\n\n* [USDA National Agricultural Library](https://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/list-alternative-crops-and-enterprises-small-farm-diversification): List of Alternative Crops and Enterprises for Small Farm Diversification\n\nValue-added agriculture generally focuses on production or manufacturing processes, marketing or services that increase the value of primary agricultural commodities, perhaps by increasing appeal to the consumer and the consumer's willingness to pay a premium over similar but undifferentiated products. Usually, a value-added addition is a worthwhile investment because it generates higher return, allow penetration of a new, potentially high-value market, extend the production season, or perhaps create brand identity or develop brand loyalty.\n\n Every five years or so the United States reconsiders its major food, farm and rural policies in a new “Farm Bill”. The Agricultural Act of 2014 (the current Farm Bill) funds farm programs through 2018. This omnibus bill is the primary agriculture-policy tool of the federal government and sets out much of the policy and spending priorities for the United States Department of Agriculture.\n\n Since they began in 1933, farm bills have charted direction for community programs, international agricultural trade, rural-development and conservation programs. They also impact agricultural research, farm credit and food and nutrition programs. For these regions, in various ways they also strongly target, impact and guide American value-added agriculture.\n\nOne of the foremost vehicles for value-added agricultural development is the Value-added Producer Grant Program (VAPG). The VAPG was created by the Agricultural Risk protection Act of 2000 and coalesced into the legislation enacted in the 2002 Farm Bill (P.L. 107-171, Sec. 6401). With the Agricultural Act of 2014, $40 million per year is available through the VAPG program.\n\nVAPG applications can be submitted by independent producers, farmer and rancher cooperatives, agricultural producer groups, and majority-controlled producer-based business ventures for the development and marketing of new or enhanced value-added agricultural products (including organic agricultural production). The program is administered by USDA-Rural Development.\n\n* [Agricultural Act of 2014](https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/2/text)\n* [National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition](http://sustainableagriculture.net/publications/grassrootsguide/local-food-systems-rural-development/value-added-producer-grants/): About the Value-added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program\n* [USDA Rural Development](https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/business-programs/value-added-producer-grants): Value-added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program\n\n#### A wealth of business development and other information is available at Value-added Agriculture Centers across the nation.

Value-added agriculture is a movement that has created a life of its own. It is an idea that has the potential to change production agriculture and rural America. However, we need to define What is Value-Added Agriculture? Generally there are five ways farmers have of adding value. For a more specific definition, we define value-added agriculture using[USDA Definition](https://www.agmrc.org.staging.premier.siteviz.com/value-added-agriculture).\n\nHowever, to be successful in this movement we must look further into this concept of adding value. For example, there is a difference between capturing value and creating value. Regardless of whether you capture value or create value, the bottom line is that you get paid for providing value. If your business venture does not provide value to the system, there is no reason to expect a return. So the process of creating a successful business involves the search for providing value. Providing value can be in the form of marketing a unique product, filling a market niche, simplifying the supply chain, providing a service, lowering costs, and many other ways. The more value you provide, the more return you can extract from the marketplace.\n\nFor more information on this topic, see the link listed below of articles posted on related websites:\n\n* [USDA National Agricultural Library](https://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/list-alternative-crops-and-enterprises-small-farm-diversification): List of Alternative Crops and Enterprises for Small Farm Diversification\n\nValue-added agriculture generally focuses on production or manufacturing processes, marketing or services that increase the value of primary agricultural commodities, perhaps by increasing appeal to the consumer and the consumer's willingness to pay a premium over similar but undifferentiated products. Usually, a value-added addition is a worthwhile investment because it generates higher return, allow penetration of a new, potentially high-value market, extend the production season, or perhaps create brand identity or develop brand loyalty.\n\n Every five years or so the United States reconsiders its major food, farm and rural policies in a new “Farm Bill”. The Agricultural Act of 2014 (the current Farm Bill) funds farm programs through 2018. This omnibus bill is the primary agriculture-policy tool of the federal government and sets out much of the policy and spending priorities for the United States Department of Agriculture.\n\n Since they began in 1933, farm bills have charted direction for community programs, international agricultural trade, rural-development and conservation programs. They also impact agricultural research, farm credit and food and nutrition programs. For these regions, in various ways they also strongly target, impact and guide American value-added agriculture.\n\nOne of the foremost vehicles for value-added agricultural development is the Value-added Producer Grant Program (VAPG). The VAPG was created by the Agricultural Risk protection Act of 2000 and coalesced into the legislation enacted in the 2002 Farm Bill (P.L. 107-171, Sec. 6401). With the Agricultural Act of 2014, $40 million per year is available through the VAPG program.\n\nVAPG applications can be submitted by independent producers, farmer and rancher cooperatives, agricultural producer groups, and majority-controlled producer-based business ventures for the development and marketing of new or enhanced value-added agricultural products (including organic agricultural production). The program is administered by USDA-Rural Development.\n\n* [Agricultural Act of 2014](https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/2/text)\n* [National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition](http://sustainableagriculture.net/publications/grassrootsguide/local-food-systems-rural-development/value-added-producer-grants/): About the Value-added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program\n* [USDA Rural Development](https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/business-programs/value-added-producer-grants): Value-added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program\n\n#### A wealth of business development and other information is available at Value-added Agriculture Centers across the nation.

Food systems work within larger, complex community systems.\n\n\n\nFood System Sectors\n-------------------\n\nWe recognize five food system sectors ranging from cultivation and harvesting to conservation and stewardship.\n\n\n\n* **Cultivation and harvesting**: Cultivating land, raising livestock, hunting, foraging, fishing, and other practices.\n* **Processing and transformation**: Changing raw ingredients into new products.\n* **Aggregation and distribution**: Moving products, including gathering and delivery, to markets and buyers.\n* **Purchasing and nourishment**: Using food, including individual purchase, culinary activities, and programming that sustains both families and communities.\n* **Conservation and stewardship**: Caring for natural resources to ensure their continued use for energy, food, and water.\n\nFood System Assets\n------------------\n\nWe recognize seven food system assets ranging from built infrastructure to natural environment.\n\n* **Built infrastructure** includes buildings, roadways, and power sources.\n* **Culture and wellness** includes health and nutrition practices for individuals and populations.\n* **Dignity and Involvement** includes representation in decision making.\n* **Economy and finance** refers to wealth, finances, and capital resources.\n* **Governance and policy**refers to practices, principles, and actions adopted by groups, communities, and government,\n* **Knowledge and wisdom** includes experiences, formal education, and historical understanding.\n* **Natural environment** refers to interactions of climate, living species, weather, and natural resources.\n\n### Interested in Additional Training on Food Systems?\n\n**Certifications**\n\nBetween 2017-2020, AgMRC funded the creation and pilot of the Local Food Leader and Community Food Systems Certifications, developed by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. The certifications continue to evolve and are offered nation-wide in in-person and virtual formats. To learn more, check out the [Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Food Systems Certification](https://www.extension.iastate.edu/ffed/food-systems-certifications) page.\n\n### Resources\n\nThese resources and more are available at[Iowa State University Extension and Outreach - Food Systems](https://www.extension.iastate.edu/ffed/food-systems).\n\n[Data Resources for Food Systems Assessment PDF](https://www.agmrc.org/media/cms/Data_Resources_for_Food_Systems_Ass_28DD46EC1BBF9.pdf)\n\n[Data Resources for Food Systems Assessment Word Doc](https://www.agmrc.org/media/cms/Data_Resources_for_Food_Systems_Ass_67D4819F8747D.docx)\n\n[Food Systems Tactic Checklist PDF](https://www.agmrc.org/media/cms/ISU_Food_Systems_Tactic_Checklist_A_DF0361ECB53B4.pdf)\n\n[Food Systems Tactic Checklist Word Doc](https://www.agmrc.org/media/cms/ISU_Food_Systems_Tactic_Checklist_A_DC214B1719334.docx)\n\n[](https://www.agmrc.org/)\n\n[Facebook icon](https://www.facebook.com/agmrc)[youTube icon](https://www.youtube.com/@AgMRCorg)\n\n#### Contact Us\n\n2625 N.

Value-added agriculture is a movement that has created a life of its own. It is an idea that has the potential to change production agriculture and rural America. However, we need to define What is Value-Added Agriculture? Generally there are five ways farmers have of adding value. For a more specific definition, we define value-added agriculture using[USDA Definition](https://www.agmrc.org.staging.premier.siteviz.com/value-added-agriculture).\n\nHowever, to be successful in this movement we must look further into this concept of adding value. For example, there is a difference between capturing value and creating value. Regardless of whether you capture value or create value, the bottom line is that you get paid for providing value. If your business venture does not provide value to the system, there is no reason to expect a return. So the process of creating a successful business involves the search for providing value. Providing value can be in the form of marketing a unique product, filling a market niche, simplifying the supply chain, providing a service, lowering costs, and many other ways. The more value you provide, the more return you can extract from the marketplace.\n\nFor more information on this topic, see the link listed below of articles posted on related websites:\n\n* [USDA National Agricultural Library](https://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/list-alternative-crops-and-enterprises-small-farm-diversification): List of Alternative Crops and Enterprises for Small Farm Diversification\n\nValue-added agriculture generally focuses on production or manufacturing processes, marketing or services that increase the value of primary agricultural commodities, perhaps by increasing appeal to the consumer and the consumer's willingness to pay a premium over similar but undifferentiated products. Usually, a value-added addition is a worthwhile investment because it generates higher return, allow penetration of a new, potentially high-value market, extend the production season, or perhaps create brand identity or develop brand loyalty.\n\n Every five years or so the United States reconsiders its major food, farm and rural policies in a new “Farm Bill”. The Agricultural Act of 2014 (the current Farm Bill) funds farm programs through 2018. This omnibus bill is the primary agriculture-policy tool of the federal government and sets out much of the policy and spending priorities for the United States Department of Agriculture.\n\n Since they began in 1933, farm bills have charted direction for community programs, international agricultural trade, rural-development and conservation programs. They also impact agricultural research, farm credit and food and nutrition programs. For these regions, in various ways they also strongly target, impact and guide American value-added agriculture.\n\nOne of the foremost vehicles for value-added agricultural development is the Value-added Producer Grant Program (VAPG). The VAPG was created by the Agricultural Risk protection Act of 2000 and coalesced into the legislation enacted in the 2002 Farm Bill (P.L. 107-171, Sec. 6401). With the Agricultural Act of 2014, $40 million per year is available through the VAPG program.\n\nVAPG applications can be submitted by independent producers, farmer and rancher cooperatives, agricultural producer groups, and majority-controlled producer-based business ventures for the development and marketing of new or enhanced value-added agricultural products (including organic agricultural production). The program is administered by USDA-Rural Development.\n\n* [Agricultural Act of 2014](https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/2/text)\n* [National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition](http://sustainableagriculture.net/publications/grassrootsguide/local-food-systems-rural-development/value-added-producer-grants/): About the Value-added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program\n* [USDA Rural Development](https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/business-programs/value-added-producer-grants): Value-added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program\n\n#### A wealth of business development and other information is available at Value-added Agriculture Centers across the nation.

Value-added agriculture is a movement that has created a life of its own. It is an idea that has the potential to change production agriculture and rural America. However, we need to define What is Value-Added Agriculture? Generally there are five ways farmers have of adding value. For a more specific definition, we define value-added agriculture using[USDA Definition](https://www.agmrc.org.staging.premier.siteviz.com/value-added-agriculture).\n\nHowever, to be successful in this movement we must look further into this concept of adding value. For example, there is a difference between capturing value and creating value. Regardless of whether you capture value or create value, the bottom line is that you get paid for providing value. If your business venture does not provide value to the system, there is no reason to expect a return. So the process of creating a successful business involves the search for providing value. Providing value can be in the form of marketing a unique product, filling a market niche, simplifying the supply chain, providing a service, lowering costs, and many other ways. The more value you provide, the more return you can extract from the marketplace.\n\nFor more information on this topic, see the link listed below of articles posted on related websites:\n\n* [USDA National Agricultural Library](https://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/list-alternative-crops-and-enterprises-small-farm-diversification): List of Alternative Crops and Enterprises for Small Farm Diversification\n\nValue-added agriculture generally focuses on production or manufacturing processes, marketing or services that increase the value of primary agricultural commodities, perhaps by increasing appeal to the consumer and the consumer's willingness to pay a premium over similar but undifferentiated products. Usually, a value-added addition is a worthwhile investment because it generates higher return, allow penetration of a new, potentially high-value market, extend the production season, or perhaps create brand identity or develop brand loyalty.\n\n Every five years or so the United States reconsiders its major food, farm and rural policies in a new “Farm Bill”. The Agricultural Act of 2014 (the current Farm Bill) funds farm programs through 2018. This omnibus bill is the primary agriculture-policy tool of the federal government and sets out much of the policy and spending priorities for the United States Department of Agriculture.\n\n Since they began in 1933, farm bills have charted direction for community programs, international agricultural trade, rural-development and conservation programs. They also impact agricultural research, farm credit and food and nutrition programs. For these regions, in various ways they also strongly target, impact and guide American value-added agriculture.\n\nOne of the foremost vehicles for value-added agricultural development is the Value-added Producer Grant Program (VAPG). The VAPG was created by the Agricultural Risk protection Act of 2000 and coalesced into the legislation enacted in the 2002 Farm Bill (P.L. 107-171, Sec. 6401). With the Agricultural Act of 2014, $40 million per year is available through the VAPG program.\n\nVAPG applications can be submitted by independent producers, farmer and rancher cooperatives, agricultural producer groups, and majority-controlled producer-based business ventures for the development and marketing of new or enhanced value-added agricultural products (including organic agricultural production). The program is administered by USDA-Rural Development.\n\n* [Agricultural Act of 2014](https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/2/text)\n* [National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition](http://sustainableagriculture.net/publications/grassrootsguide/local-food-systems-rural-development/value-added-producer-grants/): About the Value-added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program\n* [USDA Rural Development](https://www.rd.usda.gov/programs-services/business-programs/value-added-producer-grants): Value-added Producer Grant (VAPG) Program\n\n#### A wealth of business development and other information is available at Value-added Agriculture Centers across the nation.
