Farm Transition Academy: How to talk to farmers about farm transitions

Farm Transition Academy: How to reach out to farmers and talk to them about farm transitions About this event We are the Farm Transition Academy, a small team passionate about helping farmers transition away from animal farming toward much kinder and more sustainable animal-free food systems. We have started a series of workshops on the highly impactful topic of farmer & industry member outreach & transitions. This is our second workshop and we are surely planning for many more to come :) This workshop will be structured in the following way: \- Tati will introduce the workshop series and explain what we mean by farm transitions. \- Meira will speak about how she engages with farmers via social media. \- Edith will be sharing her story of helping small-town farmer Mike Lanigan save the animals on his farm, and turn his ranch into an animal rescue + education centre. \- Q&A: the speakers are ready for your questions :) ------------------------ About the speakers: Tati von Rheinbaben is the project manager at the animal rights organization Surge.
