In some of the most environmentally threatened places in the world, WEA leaders are defending forests and rivers, saving threatened indigenous seeds, launching sustainable farms, conserving coral reefs, and protecting land rights.
Since 2006, WEA’s signature model has enabled over 10,000 women to build their technical, entrepreneurial, and leadership skills—and together, we’re reaching over 10 million people with safe water, energy access, regenerative farming, and climate initiatives.

Researching agroecology and expanding people’s relationships with plants with civic science communities.
Aubrey Streit Krug is a writer, teacher, and researcher who studies stories of relationships between humans and plants. She directs the Ecosphere Studies initiative at The Land Institute in Salina, Kansas. She organizes civic science communities that invite diverse groups of people to learn together, as they care for plants, participate in new perennial grain crop domestication, and explore agroecology research. Aubrey grew up in a small town in Kansas, where her parents farm wheat and raise cattle, and she loves rocky prairie hillsides. She holds a Ph.D. in English and Great Plains Studies from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and is a co-author of the collaborative textbook The Omaha Language and the Omaha Way.
