2024 Questions of Focus

  • Enhancing Youth Agricultural Education
    • Bolstering the availability of youth agricultural education, gaining experiences on working farms, and utilizing ag specific equipment with opportunities for hands-on skill development will encourage pursuit of lifelong careers in CT agriculture.
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Agriculture
    • DoAg acknowledges the importance of supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive agricultural community and working towards achieving an industry that addresses structural and systemic inequities faced by many producers who identify as BIPOC, veterans, members of the LGBTQ+ community or people with a disability.
  • Urban Ag
    • Urban agriculture is a growing, meaningful sector of Connecticut agriculture that can contribute to increasing food security, food sovereignty, agriculture education of all ages and reducing carbon emissions.
  • Food Supply Chain
    • The COVID 19 pandemic has continued to increase awareness of the importance of a sustainable and resilient local food supply in CT. With the increased demand for CT Grown food and farm products, the lack of resources and significant challenges related to distribution and processing options for CT farmers became apparent.
  • Farmland Accessibility
    • Farmland accessibility and farmland conversion are a continuing challenge that the CT agricultural industry faces; specifically for new farmers. There are currently over 500 farmers seeking farmland on CTFarmlink.org, a website and resource hub that aims to connect farmland owners with farmland seekers and aid in the successful transition of farmland.
