Workshops

Are you looking for new ways to connect with farmers about conservation programs or regenerative agriculture? Do you want to better understand farmers in your area and how to reach them?

Too often, conservation efforts struggle to gain traction because outreach isn’t designed with the farmer’s perspective in mind. Environmental Initiative and Trust In Food™ are now offering workshops to share their successful and proven data-driven approach to farmer engagement.

This highly interactive workshop flips the script, helping you build trust, craft compelling messages, and use data-driven approaches that lead to real results.

What You’ll Learn

Workshop participants leave with:

Ways to set meaningful, measurable outreach goals.
Tips for understanding farmers in your audience.
Tools to develop messages and select channels for the farmers you engage.
Hands-on activities to apply to your own outreach.

Workshop Details

Time: 3 hours
Size: Up to 40 people
In-person

Pricing will vary depending on factors such as anticipated attendance, length of workshop, and workshop location. Workshops can be paired with a larger event or coordinated with other organizations.

What Participants Say

Planning Conservation Outreach Using Place-Based Insights

“We participated in a workshop right as five new conservation district staff were starting. It helped show the value of communications and set the culture of paying attention to social science in addition to hard science. The workshop reinforced that what we say to producers and how we say it really matters.”
