We strive to embody this understanding in all that we do in the Women for the Land Initiative. In our approach, we recognize the need to grapple with the historic and current structures that have enabled disparities along gender and racial lines to persist. The disparities that we work to address for women are interconnected to our work to confront racism and inequality as an initiative and as an organization. In addition to gendered barriers, we recognize that women have intersecting identities related to their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation and more, and that each of these layers may impact their experiences on the landscape. Our Women for the Land Initiative helps play a role in closing these gaps. These programs can support farm viability and conservation practice success.ĪFT firmly believes that women are ideal partners in farmland protection and conservation of our working lands, and that we need to do more to reach them. 2 The big food event of the week is, of course, Thanksgiving.

And while women are increasingly in playing primary decision-making roles on farms and many are inclined towards conservation, they remain underrepresented in their utilization of USDA and state-based conservation programs.
