Jaclyn Wypler

Sociology PhD &

Farmer Mental Health Advocate

I currently work on the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network at National Young Farmers Coalition.

In my graduate research, I studied queer and transgender sustainable farmers in the Midwest. My work focused on how these women and non-binary people use their connection to land to make social and economic bonds in rural communities.
