Project Background
The proposed project will bring American Farmland Trust’s innovative Women for the Land Learning Circle programming to women ranchers and ranchland owners in Northeast Oregon to advance the CIG priority of Soil Quality. Empowering women in ranching with useful tools and tactics, including USDA NRCS resources related to soil quality and climate resilience, could not only make their ranches less vulnerable but could provide models for adoption of agricultural conservation practices that could be utilized by women in agriculture and ranching across the state.
