Rural Institute Executive Director Moderates Together We Grow Forum
Together We Grow (TOG) is “a consortium of modern food and agriculture companies, NGOs, members of academia and the government who have united to focus on building a skilled, diverse and inclusive workforce to make American agriculture a leader for generations to come.” AUCD is an original member of the Together We Grow consortium.
The agriculture industry is facing a workforce shortage. People with disabilities represent a large, untapped employee resource for agriculture-related training, mentorship and job-placement programs.
