Maria Teresa Tancredi is a PhD student in Dr. Jennifer Thompson’s Social Sustainability of Agrifood Systems Lab at the University of Georgia. She is in the fourth year of her program and is currently leading a collaboration with AFT to better understand the experiences and roles of women farmers in operations that produce row crops in the Northeast, Midwest, and South regions of the United States.
