Animal agriculture advocacy comes in many different forms, each with the common goal of building trust between producers and the public, encouraging transparency, and supporting responsible, sustainable practices within the industry. Whether it’s a farmer sharing their daily life on social media, an industry expert speaking at an educational event, or a student participating in youth programs like 4-H and FFA, advocacy is happening all around us. You can find it in barns, classrooms, online platforms, community events, and even at family dinner tables. Each setting presents a valuable opportunity to tell agriculture’s story.
