Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC) is a national nonprofit non-governmental organization in the United States that mobilizes veterans to feed America and transition from military service to a career in agriculture.[1][2] The Farmer Veteran Coalition was founded in Davis, California by Michael O’Gorman so that veterans might serve their country in a new capacity, as providers of the nation's food and fiber.[3][4][5][6][7] The Farmer Veteran Coalition has given out more than $5 million in grants to veterans through the Farmer Veteran Fellowship Fund.[8]
