An updated guide offers tips and tools for effective engagement for online education, including hybrid settings for farm and ranch women.
American Farmland Trust and Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education announced “Reaching Women in Agriculture: A Guide to Virtual Engagement,” Tuesday.
The guide was originally developed through a partnership with AFT and the University of Vermont Extension and has recently been updated, enhanced and published by SARE earlier in 2022.
The goal is to create a safe space for women to learn from each other and gain confidence, rather than excluding men. The guidance in Reaching Women is born out of AFT’s Women for the Land initiative and the Learning Circle model.
Reaching Women incorporates the characteristics of high-quality programs for women in agriculture and the emerging best practices for adapting farmer education and networking events to virtual platforms. Find and print a free copy of the guide online at sare.org.
