Storytelling In Agriculture: Develop A Voice That Shifts Narratives
Today less than 2% of Americans live on farms or ranches and the disconnect between rural and urban communities is bigger than ever.
According to a study by the Innovation Center of U.S. Dairy, 7% of all American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows. If you do the math that works out to 16.4 million misinformed milk drinking people and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
The narrative around farming, ranching and other forms of agriculture is constantly changing and not necessarily for the better. It doesn’t have to be this way.
The secret is real, authentic and vulnerable storytelling. In fact, sharing the story of America’s farmers and ranchers might just be the key to preserving the industry’s future and connecting on a deeper level with consumers.
It starts behind the farm gate. It starts with farmers, ranchers and agriculturalists sharing their own story.
After hearing Courtenay’s empowering speech your audience will:
Be ready to boldly step into their own agriculture story and share it with the world.
Learn how to handle negative narratives through storytelling by building authentic rapport with those outside of the industry.
Leave ready to leverage storytelling both digitally and in person through new frameworks.
Tap into their own personal story and leverage the massive power behind a unique personal brand to preserve and elevate agriculture to new levels.
[Note: This talk is available as a customized version applied directly to the following topics or themes: farming, ranching, urban agriculture, food production or personal branding].
