Last week, The International Center (Indianapolis) hosted an International Visitor Leadership Program delegation from Japan focused on Expanding Participation of Underrepresented Groups in Japan’s Agricultural Sectors. We were thrilled to facilitate discussions on supporting women in agriculture and encouraging more women to pursue careers in this vital industry, drawing inspiration from initiatives like Women4theLand and Purdue University Women in Agriculture.   During their visit, the delegation explored educational opportunities at the Indiana Agriculture & Technology School in Trafalgar and engaged with Purdue Extension 4-H and the Indiana FFA Organization State Convention in West Lafayette, gaining valuable insights into inspiring youth in agriculture.   Cultural immersion was also a highlight, with a heartwarming home hospitality dinner and a memorable jazz night, showcasing Indiana hospitality and culture. 🌱🌎   A special thank you to all the organizations and individuals who made this program possible! Your support contributed to an enriching and impactful experience: Neelam Patel, Cassidy Davis, Global Ties U.S.   #IVLP #IndianaAgriculture #GlobalPartnerships #EmpowerWomen #YouthInAgriculture
