What We Do

Achieving Our Objectives

The objective of the Business Structures Strategies Program is to increase the number of successful, value-added enterprises utilizing sound and if necessary innovative business and organizational structures for the benefit of NY agricultural producers.

We achieve our objectives through providing targeted resources and information to NY producer groups or individuals. In doing so we enable them to make educated decisions about how they might effectively and sometimes innovatively structure their business. Through funding from the NYFVI we are able to offer more intensive consultations to qualifying individuals or groups.

Organizational innovation can include creative approaches to: financing, governance, group structures (networks, alliances, cooperatives, etc.), management participation and the role of investors.
