Real Farmer Care Self-Care Survey
Through a collaboration between Real Farmer Care and American Farmland Trust, we are seeking to expand self-care support for farmers and ranchers. To learn more, see our
Oct 21st 2024 Press Release
.
Self-care is generally defined as the practice of taking an active role in protecting one's own well-being and happiness, particularly during periods of stress.
Research shows that higher levels of self-care play a pivotal role in healthier lives and improved longevity. As levels of burnout continue to increase in farmers and ranchers, especially those with marginalized identities, initiatives that financially support farmers and ranchers in taking time to recharge are essential.
If interested in learning more about
