This new guide from Sustainable Research and Education (SARE) brings together information, tips and tools to deliver effective and engaging online (and hybrid) education for farm and ranch women on topics related to farm viability, resilience and conservation.
The resource and its online offerings help address barriers many women may encounter when trying to access in-person education, such as costs and time associated with travel or competing family and work responsibilities.
This guide is intended for practitioners such as nonprofit staff, Extension agents, farmer educators, and facilitators who have prior experience conducting face-to-face education with women farmers and ranchers, and who want to transition programs online.
This guide was developed by SARE, American Farmland Trust, and University of Vermont Extension.
