Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in CT Agriculture

The Connecticut Department of Agriculture (CT DoAg) announces the creation of working groups focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Connecticut agriculture. The working groups are a crucial component of an agency-wide effort to engage and support current and future farmers and those in the agriculture industry who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) in the state.

The CT Department of Agriculture provided an update on DEI in Ag Presentation on November 20, 2024. To watch to update please follow the link below or view the slides that were covered.
