Ag Groups Release Guide on Virtual Engagement for Women

An updated guide offers tips and tools for effective engagement for online education, including hybrid settings for farm and ranch women. The guide, Reaching Women in Agriculture: A Guide to Virtual Engagement, was originally developed through a partnership with American Farmland Trust and the University of Vermont Extension. It was recently updated, enhanced and published by SARE earlier this year.

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.
