The College of Agriculture and Natural Resources’ Community Resources and Economic Development Initiative- Virtual Center growing from: Web Stakeholders CommunityAccess to Expertise

Purpose & Platform  What is the purpose? To increase rural prosperity while contributing positively to developing and sustaining Maryland’s rural communities.  Delivery Platform- Participatory  ▪ 24/7 web portal is a one-stop-shop for the latest, most successful business development innovations and support.  ▪ First agricultural site in the State totally dedicated to agricultural and natural resource business development.

It’s Not our Father’s Farming Community Anymore Farming no longer dominates the Rural Economy. In 2000, of the more than 2000 non-metropolitan counties, only 420 (1 in 5) were farming dependent. ERS defines farming dependent as receiving 15% or more of earnings or employment from farming. Maryland has no farming-dependent counties according to this definition.

It’s not our Father’s Rural Economic Development Strategies  The traditional rural economic development tools of available land and cheap labor no longer apply.  We must retain our rural human resources by developing profitable and community-centric businesses.  More and more people first identify where they want to live and then consider their livelihood.

Jobs & Profitability  44 percent of new jobs in the U.S. are generated by startup firms with only a few employees.  “We are moving into an ‘entrepreneurial age.’ If current trends continue it has been estimated that one out of every four rural citizens will be self-employed by Small Business Administration
