Introduction

Thank you very much for participating in our Women in Agribusiness Study, a report designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the demographics of women in agribusiness, their experiences and challenges in the industry and the programs used to recruit, retain and advance them in agribusiness. To learn more about the study, please visit: www.womeninag.com.

This survey is the second step in the process, in which we are seeking to get a better understanding of the experiences and challenges facing women in agribusiness.
