Are you an Extension professional or woman working in agriculture? Do you need help finding resources? There are many organizations and options out there if you know where to look. The Florida Women in Agriculture Association has begun compiling a list of resources for women in agriculture. We are happy to share this as it continues to grow!

One of the more well known resources is Annie’s Project. This is a nonprofit for educating and empowering women. There are various ways of getting involved including a curriculum to use for education and Extension and an annual conference.
