Did you know? Women are responsible for nearly half of the agricultural labour force in developing countries, yet they have far less access to resources, training, and support compared to their male counterparts. Despite these challenges, women in agriculture are pivotal to feeding their communities and driving sustainable farming practices. This striking fact underscores a profound truth: the immense potential of women in agriculture remains underutilized. This is why we empower women in agriculture. When we invest in women farmers, we invest in the future. Empowering women in agriculture means providing them with the tools, opportunities, and support they need to thrive. It’s about recognizing their contributions, breaking down barriers, and ensuring equality in access to land, resources, and education.
