WAYS TO GET INVOLVED
The Women Changing the Face of Agriculture is a conference as well as an investment in the future of agriculture. This outreach project gives all women the opportunity to explore different career paths offered in the agriculture sector.
Our primary mission is to empower women to explore all career fields and opportunities within the farming, food and natural resources industries. Our secondary mission is to elevate the female leaders and friends in these industries as well. The Women Changing the Face of Agriculture Conference connects the incoming work force generation to those that have forged the path.
