Empowering Women in Agriculture: A Key to Rural Development As we strive for a more equitable and food-secure future, it's time to recognize the critical role women play in agriculture. Women make up nearly half of the agricultural workforce worldwide, yet they face significant barriers to land ownership, credit, and technology. It's time to change that. Empowering women in agriculture is not only a matter of fairness, but also a key to unlocking rural development. When women have access to resources and opportunities, they invest in their families, communities, and local economies. This leads to improved food security, education, and healthcare outcomes. Moreover, women are often the backbone of rural communities, providing critical support to their families and neighbors. By supporting women in agriculture, we can build more resilient and thriving rural communities. Let's work together to break down the barriers facing women in agriculture and unlock their full potential. We can do this by: - Providing training and resources to women farmers - Advocating for policies that support women's land ownership and access to credit - Celebrating the achievements of women in agriculture Together, we can build a more equitable and food-secure future for all. #WomenInAg #RuralDevelopment #Agriculture #Empowerment #FoodSecurity #GenderEquality

Women in agriculture often face gender-based discrimination, resulting in unequal pay, limited access to education and training, and little land tenure. Recognising them as true game changers and experts in various techniques of agriculture, providing access to market information can help women increase their income, reduce their dependence on subsistence farming, and contribute to economic growth. Otipy has taken the initiative to bring more resources for women farmers - the true #Annapoorna this #InternationalWomensDay.

In honor of International Women’s Day, let’s celebrate the advances women have made in the world of #farming. While women have always supported farm success across the globe, in recent times more women are emerging from their behind-the-scenes #ag roles and have moved into the spotlight. #IWD24 #InternationalWomensDay24 #InternationalWomensDay

Agriculture is unimaginable without women. Nearly half of the world’s 550 million smallholder farmers are women, yet they often lack equal opportunities compared to their male counterparts. #TeamBayer is working to change that. We supported 53 million smallholder farmers in 2023, on track to reach our commitment of 100 million by 2030. Women empowerment is a key pillar in our efforts to impact smallholder farmers. Across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, we #InspireInclusion in rural communities through our Better Life Farming Alliance. Together with our partners, we enable women to become agri-entrepreneurs and turn their farming activities into viable small businesses. We provide access to knowledge, solutions, and markets so they can cultivate their crops more sustainably, improve their yields, and ultimately, their income and livelihoods. https://lnkd.in/guZ9wU_M #HealthForAll #HungerForNone #IWD2024

Celebrating the true heroes of the soil! In our vicinity villages, the Self-Help Group, backed by HMEL, have reshaped the narrative for women in agriculture. Transitioning from renting tractors to owning agricultural implements, they've emerged as symbols of empowerment. Today, as we mark National Kisan Diwas, we honour these women farmers who are not just tending to fields but also nurturing progress and empowerment. #EnergisingABrighterTomorrow #KisanDiwas #FarmersDay2023 #FarmersDay

Ahead of #iwd2024, we're excited to share results from a recent study by Dr. Diya Dutta and Apoorva Mahendru of impacts from Heifer International #Nepal's Strengthening Smallholder Enterprises of Livestock Value Chain (SLVC) program. It revealed the following outcomes for the program's women participants: ✔️ Improved economic empowerment ✔️ Increased decision-making power ✔️ Reduced acceptance in their households of gender-based violence Get the detailed insights here: https://bit.ly/3IkUTGr #inspirinclusion #genderequality #womensempowerment

Is the farming sector welcoming to women? What are the barriers and benefits to women entering farming? And what are your hopes for the future of farming? If you are a woman working in the #farming, #agriculture or #growing sector in the #southeast, we want to hear from you! For International Women’s Day 2024 we are sharing your stories. This year's theme is 'Inspiring Inclusion'. New research from Level the Field from @farmersweekly shows 6 in 10 women farmers still feel held back by sexist industry attitudes. So, what is farming really like for women in and around #Sussex? Your answers to our quick survey will help us publish a blog and social media posts. If you have more time and would like to tell us your story straight from your farm in video form, we’d love to hear from you. Please complete the survey linked below by Sunday 3rd March. #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion #BreakTheBias https://lnkd.in/eUvVJ4xM

Rural women - please get behind this survey. I know our primary people are superheroes. However, often we develop capability (and I know this from experience) without realising we're doing it and with little support. In my experience this was learning how to manage invoicing, cashflow and variance reporting, environmental compliance and a whole other list of tasks required to support a farming business by "doing" it. This survey aims to identify the skills our rural women have that may be invisible (to us and to others). The aim is to help design supportive pathways for us to grow and develop our capability, including in ways that will be recognised and including by potential employers, helping us enter the off-farm workforce (if we want to).
