Advocacy: Looking to the Future of Women in Ag
By Bonnie Johnson, AgCareers.com
Promotion of our industry is strong; more than 90% of respondents to the AgCareers.com Gender Roles & Equality survey said they frequently advocate for the agricultural industry. Women felt that advocacy was one of the top three skills or characteristics they bring to the industry.

Mentorship may have a role in increasing advocacy, focusing on the positive aspects of our industry and encouraging involvement. Women in the survey reported having more male mentors than female mentors. We know that mentoring programs help build on employees’ skill sets and develop future leaders. Partnering accomplished female leaders with young women is a way to foster a workplace culture that focuses on gender equality.

“Mentorship is so important for women in our industry," says Iris Meck, Advancing Women in Ag Conference. "Agriculture can be very isolating since some jobs are a long way from the traditional office setting, or are geographically remote.” Conferences like Advancing Women in Ag brings women together to build a community based on shared experiences.

More than 70% of female respondents said women had made their presence known in agribusiness, but still 61% felt that women were not sufficiently represented.
