Australian Women in Agriculture has been connecting and inspiring generations of women in agriculture for the past 30 years. For the past few years connections with rural women and women engaged within the agriculture industry have been so incredibly difficult.

To help bridge the gap following these hard times, AWiA have introduced Connect to Cultivate - a national event series to help rural women re-connect and cultivate incredible outcomes across the country and beyond.

Aligned with the2022 International Day of Rural Womentheme of "cultivating good for all", the events will bring together women in agriculture in each state and territory and share stories of rural women cultivating good in their fields.
