Women Food and Agriculture Network (WFAN) is a nonprofit organization that serves as a community for people involved in food growing and land stewardship who have historically faced barriers to education, infrastructure, and supportive networks in agriculture. Its work centers on connecting diverse farmers, landowners, urban gardeners, educators, researchers, and advocates to foster sustainable agricultural practices and a just food and farm future. Based in Ames, Iowa, WFAN operates within the civic and social organizations sector and provides a platform for mentorship, collaboration, and peer encouragement among its members. The organization emphasizes inclusion and practical support aimed at expanding access to education and resources for a broad range of agricultural practitioners. A recent development noted is the ongoing administration of its Harvesting Its Potential mentorship program, with annual application cycles announced in late 2020 and late 2021. WFAN’s focus and activities position it as a resource within the broader Midwest agricultural community seeking equitable participation and support for diverse stakeholders in farming and land stewardship.
