About the Fellowship

This year, we are opening our program to even more! From farmers to CEOs, Scientists to AgTech, everyone is welcome to help us shape the future for women. 

You can join us by either:

By joining us for only one hour a month, you could help grow gender diversity across the food and agriculture industry.
