Great Lakes ROTA-RC Seminar - Integrating Farmer Needs into Childcare Solutions

Presenter: Dr. Shoshanah Inwood
Learn about out the unique challenges farmers face in accessing affordable quality childcare. This interactive breakout session will include an overview of national USDA and CDC funded research findings examining how access to childcare and health insurance affects farm economic development, child farm safety, and farm family quality of life. We’ll discuss the types of solutions farmers identified, new tools to assist farmers and communities with childcare solutions, and collectively develop strategies you can use to effectively engage farmers and community members in developing childcare solutions.
