HARRISBURG Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding is addressing diversity and inclusion as a key challenge in cultivating a bright future for Pennsylvania’s agriculture industry.
The Pennsylvania Farm Show spotlight will focus on women in agriculture who are shaping the industry’s future, creating jobs and building a stronger food system.
“Part of the story in agriculture is who is in agriculture,” Secretary Redding said. “And that diversity is so important. We get a chance to see the women who are playing such a critical role not just in shaping the landscape, but in shaping our future. From our classrooms to our boardrooms, these women are leading agriculture in Pennsylvania.”
