AZ Agriculture Workforce Development Coalition: Farmer, Rancher, Wild Food Harvester and Gleaner Employer Survey

The Arizona Agriculture Workforce Development Coalition is currently advocating for and creating a movement to support the next generation of Arizona farmers. We are creating a network of resources and connections for established farmers and beginning farmers searching for apprenticeships.
