Factor in the&nbsp;average age of existing farmers&#8211;they&#8217;re pushing 60&#8211;and&nbsp;a rapidly growing world population that must be fed, and it&#8217;s clear there will be many, many opportunities for young and new farmers in the years ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, there is a deep labor pool returning to the U.S. from abroad. American military veterans, who&nbsp;have put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms we all enjoy,&nbsp; come home ready to resume civilian life and make a difference in their local communities.<\/p>\n<p>As we prepare to observe Veterans Day and show our appreciation for these heroes,&nbsp; let&#8217;s also work to show them opportunities in agriculture. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.farmvetco.org\/\">The Farmers-Veterans Coalition<\/a>,&nbsp;based in Davis, is finding that veterans, after years spent in the rigors of military service, possess&nbsp;a unique skill set for the farm. The coalition&nbsp;believes that food production offers purpose, opportunity, and physical and psychological benefits. I couldn&#8217;t agree more.<\/p>\n<p>There are already success stories out there. Veterans like Colin Archipley of Escondido are now farmers. Archipley&#8217;s operation, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.archisacres.com\/Archis_Acres\/HOME.html\">Archi&#8217;s Acres<\/a>,&nbsp;not only produces&nbsp;basil, lettuce and other vegetables for customers like Whole Foods Market, but also has created the Veterans Sustainable Agriculture Training program as a transition opportunity for veterans.<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;&nbsp;Farmers-Veterans Coalition has a goal&nbsp;to assist 10,000 veterans through training, mentorship, and direct assistance &#8211; working&nbsp;with partners like Archi&#8217;s Acres.
