AZ Agricultural Workforce Development Coalition: Beginning Farmer, Rancher, Wild Food Harvester and Gleaner Survey

Note: We use the term "farmer" or "farm" to include ranching, wild food harvesting and/or gleaning. 
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.
