GUEST
Bridget Holcomb Executive Director of the Women Food and Agriculture Network
Bridget received her Master’s of Public Affairs with an emphasis on nonprofit management from the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
Prior to that she worked in sustainable agriculture advocacy at the Michael Fields Agricultural Institute and the Illinois Stewardship Alliance. A native of Northern Minnesota, Bridget has focused her work on clean water, soil conservation, and making a sustainable living from the land.
“We know from our own experience that women are more likely to ask first,
”What can I do to support my family, and what can I do to support my community?”
LINKS AND RESOURCES
The #ILookLikeAFarmer 5x7 limited edition notecard series to benefit women in agriculture around the globe.
We collaborated with artist Anna Brones for this project - she created four papercuts, inspired by the women from the #FemaleFarmerProject.
Proceeds will benefit the Women, Food and Agriculture Network to support their initiatives for US-based female farmers.
These limited edition cards were printed on 5x7 notecards by woman-owned, Girlie Press on recycled paper. They are suitable for framing if desired.
