In a world where many consumers are disconnected from the realities of food production, agriculture advocacy is more than just a buzzword. It’s a vital movement bridging the gap between farmers, ranchers, and their communities. By sharing the authentic stories of those who feed us, agriculture advocacy addresses misconceptions and leads to better understanding.


What is Agriculture Advocacy?

At its core, agriculture advocacy is about amplifying the voices of farmers and ranchers, promoting agricultural practices and policies that support their interests and those of their communities. Advocacy can take many forms, from grassroots campaigns and social media engagement to participating in community events and lobbying for policy changes. The goal is not only to counter negative narratives but also to celebrate the significant contributions agriculture makes to our society and economy.
