Land Army

The Land Army was a national organization created during times of war, particularly World War I and World War II, to encourage women and other civilians to work in agriculture. Its goal was to boost food production and ensure a stable supply of crops and livestock while many men served in the military. Land Army workers performed farming tasks such as planting, harvesting, and tending animals. They played a crucial role in maintaining food security during wartime and demonstrated the importance of collective effort in national effort and resilience.
