Dairy Food Advocacy Network (DairyFAN)

Are you social media savvy? Do you enjoy participating in conversations about where our food comes from and how it’s produced? If you answered yes to both of these, then our Dairy Food Advocacy Network (DairyFAN) is the place for you! This year-long leadership program is designed for college students and young professionals looking to hone their social media advocacy skills to better engage in digital discussions about food and agriculture. As part of this resume-building program, you’ll get guidance on how to beef up your social media accounts both personally and professionally; opportunities to build your network within the agriculture industry; access to exclusive industry initiatives and events; and last but not least the opportunity to win prizes. Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 30; be a resident of New York, New Jersey or Pennsylvania; have the ability to travel independently; and have background in agricultural or equivalent educational or professional experience in farming, food or associated fields. Does this sounds like the right fit for you? Apply today! Everyone eats – but does everyone know where their food comes from? And how it got to their table? Today’s average consumer may be three to four generations (or more!) removed from the farm. Farmers have the opportunity to help close that gap and share their stories from the farm and consumers have the opportunity to learn more about what’s on their plates and in their glasses!
