The Wisteria Alliance – Women in Agriculture – Program began in November 2012 with the goal of providing practical, hands on training for women who live on farms, and those whose interest lie in starting a farm, and/or urban and community gardeners.

Although men are welcome, the Wisteria Alliance is committed to creating an atmosphere where women will be comfortable to ask any question in a warm nurturing environment. The program’s workshops and trainings prepare women to own and operate their own farms and other agricultural based businesses.

The Southern University Agricultural Land-Grant Campus is comprised of the Southern University Ag Center and the Southern University College of Agricultural, Family and Consumer Sciences.
