This new Sustainable Research and Education (SARE) guide brings together information, tips, and tools to deliver effective and engaging online (and hybrid) education to farm and ranch women on topics related to farm viability, resilience, and conservation.
The resources and online offerings help address barriers many women may face 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 professionals such as nonprofit workers, extension agents, farmer educators, and coordinators who have experience conducting face-to-face education with women farmers and ranchers and who want to deliver programs online.
This guide was developed by SARE, the American Farmland Trust, and the University of Vermont Extension.
