The ag industry has a tight knit community-deeply devoted to traditions, loyalty & hard work. Let’s use these values& commit to further eradicate mental health stigma, create an inclusive environment for all & promote greater diversity. B/c everyone deserves a spot at the table.
In less than 5 yrs we smashed the stigma of mental health in agriculture. It happened b/c influential people lent their platform to spread a message.
Can we do Racism in Ag? Can we amplify the voices that deserve to be heard and push the hate to the far fringe of our community?

“I came from the hunger space and know that feeding people is not creating food security. Giving people food is essential, but we have systemic problems causing poverty that we need to fix so people don’t need charitable food programs at all.”
