Register Here for Workshop

June 28, 2021  2-4:00pm EDT

The first of three professional development workshops available for Extension professionals on Engaging Strategically to Build Farm and Family Resilience. In these workshops, you and your team will increase your understanding of how to integrate theory-based risk and resilience concepts into programming, develop confidence to engage community members in building resilience of farms and farm families, and create a plan of action for incorporating risk and resilience and community engagement. Offered by the University of Delaware Cooperative Extension and University of Maryland Extension supported by the Extension Foundation through a USDA-NIFA New Technologies in Agriculture Extension grant.

In this first workshop session, the focus will be on building resilience in our farms and farm families complements agriculture risk management programming. Built on the foundation of the Extension Farm and Farm Family Risk and Resilience Socio-Ecological Model for building resilient farms and farm families, you will be well on your way to integrating resiliency in your programming. During this session you will:

  • Create a first draft of a Resilience Thinking and Doing Worksheet with action steps,
  • Identify tools and resources you can use to support your programming efforts from the Farm and Farm Family Risk and Resilience A Guide for Extension Professionals E-Fieldbook, and
  • Identify key partners to support your efforts.

We encourage you to identify a team of 2 or more Extension colleagues to attend the series together. For those teams who attend all three sessions, you’ll be placed into a drawing to receive a 1-hour consultation with the UD and MD Extension NTAE team members. If you attend without a team, you’ll still be eligible for the drawing, but during the workshop will work with other participants who have also attended without a team. Create a team name and each team member will need to register for this workshop.

To add some fun, prior to each workshop, you’ll be invited to participate in a learning activity. Those who complete the activity in advance--by 12:00 pm EDT the Friday before--will be entered into a door prize drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card. The winner will be announced at the end of each workshop and must be present to receive the prize.

Don't delay, register today and tell your teammates to register as well!

I would love to be a part of this workshop. My father used to run the farm in a village. I mostly live in London for the work of job application services uk but now I wanted to look that farm. And I would love to integrate resilience into my practice.

Ohh! This looks helpful and useful for my uncle who owns a farm. I would suggest this workshop. It would give him a broader view to take his farming activities to another level, and I think I kind of owe it to the family as his son use to do my assignments. And I miss his help. So yeah this looks interesting enough to register. Hoping they get to learn valuable things from it!
