Women in agricultural sciences are telling their stories and breaking misconceptions of ag science as a career.

Women, referring to individuals who identify with womanhood, continue to be underrepresented in the agricultural sciences. Our platform aims to create a supportive community to inspire and connect women by sharing their stories and experiences in agricultural sciences. Additionally, we seek to educate the general public about the significance of women's representation in this field and the importance of agricultural sciences overall.
