Dr. Michael Rosmann has dedicated his life to advocating for the well-being of food producers. A clinical psychologist and farmer himself, he cofounded AgriWellness, Inc., which conducted research to identify the best practices in mental health care that help farmers, ranchers, farm workers, their families, and communities manage stress and deter suicide. Their findings became the basis of the Farm and Ranch Stress Assistance Network that is part of the current U.S. Farm Bill. He writes a syndicated column about behavioral health and related topics for approximately four million regular readers of farm and rural newspapers. His first book, Excellent Joy: Fishing, Farming, Hunting, and Psychology, received the Silver Award in Nature from Foreword Reviews. He has been a guest on NPR, PBS, BBC, and many other media programs. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Forbes, the Guardian, and Time, and he routinely gives talks around the world.
