SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Skills for Building Farmer Networks for Conservation
DESCRIPTION:If you support farmer-led conservation efforts and want to learn how to empower more farmers to be involved\, this Lunch & Learn will introduce you to a curriculum designed to support your goals.

It is designed to empower farmers to be peer leaders and build local networks by bolstering their confidence and capacities to engage other farmers about soil health and conservation. While the target audience for the curriculum is farmers\, this Lunch & Learn is for conservation outreach professionals who would use the curriculum to deliver a training to farmers. Learn what the curriculum teaches farmers and how you could use it in your own programming.
