AgrAbility works to assist agriculturalists facing many types of challenges. This includes offering support and learning opportunities for physical, emotional, behavioral, and health injuries or issues.
Paul Jones, Project Manager for AgrAbility, says that he’s seen an increase in veterans coming home and turning to agriculture for job opportunities. The Farmer Veteran Coalition is just one example of an organization working to connect individuals to agriculture through education and hands-on experiences facilitated by AgrAbility.
