Women make up nearly half of the global agricultural workforce but receive much less funding, land, input, and training than men.

We want to take these stats and turn them on their head. We’ve rallied women entrepreneurs in agriculture locally and regionally who have the capacity to inspire others to create a better food system.

We’re inviting the campus community and the public to join us to learn about the successes and challenges of their journeys.

There are three lectures in the series, with one taking place each month this fall (click the title for details):

The series has been organized and coordinated by Stockbridge instructor Angela Roell and lecturer Sarah Berquist and the flyer was designed by SFF student Annalisa Flynn.

Each lecture has its own Facebook event (links are included above). Those interested in attending are encouraged to RSVP to individual events on Facebook.

We’d appreciate if you could pass along this information to anyone else you think may be interested. Questions and feedback can be directed via email (abthorpe@umass.edu).
