In this episode, I talk to The Female Farmer Project founder Audra Mulkern about women’s role in agriculture and what we can do to support our farmers.
Audra Mulkern is the founder of The Female Farmer Project – a multi-platform documentary project that chronicles the rise of women working in agriculture around the world. From in-depth stories, personal essays, photographic portraits, a podcast and in development documentary film, the project gives a powerful voice to the fastest growing demographic in agriculture– The Female Farmer.
