Fields of Opportunity: Advancing Women’s Leadership in Brazilian Agribusiness Women have always been at the heart of #farming around the world, working on land that is frequently a family #business; and, most often, owned and managed by men. The #gender gap in agriculture across the world is heavily skewed, with women disproportionally represented when it comes to land ownership and key positions at the top of agricultural companies and food production businesses. In Brazil, female executives represent only 14% of positions on the board of directors of companies listed on the Brazilian stock exchange. With this in mind, ADAMA Brazil took action, creating the ‘ADAMA Entre Elas – ADAMA Among Women’ event, with the aim of stimulating and strengthening the presence of female executives in agricultural businesses in the region. Attended by 25 female executives from ADAMA Brazil’s client base, the two-day event provided training and an opportunity to exchange experiences across the themes of self-development, strengthening teams and the sustainability of businesses. The event provided a practical forum and training covering key areas to help women further their presence in business. Delegates focused on areas like employer branding, strengthening personal image and career promotion. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dQ4xBBxw

Celebrating Women in Agriculture: Building a Stronger Future Today, on International Women's Day, we at FGH International Agribusiness Consulting celebrate the incredible contributions of women across the entire agricultural value chain. Women are the backbone of rural economies, playing vital roles as farmers, entrepreneurs, and innovators. Yet, they often face significant barriers to access resources, training, and market opportunities. At FGH, we're committed to changing that. Here's how we're empowering women in agriculture: Building knowledge & skills: We offer targeted training programs to equip women with the technical knowledge and business skills they need to succeed. Facilitating market access: We bridge the gap between women farmers and the market, helping them connect with buyers and secure fair prices for their produce. Promoting financial inclusion: We work with partners to provide women with access to financial resources, loans, and savings opportunities. By empowering women, we're not just creating a more equitable agricultural sector, we're also boosting food security, economic growth, and overall community development. Let's celebrate the remarkable women in agriculture today and every day. Together, we can build a more sustainable and inclusive food system for the future. #womeninagriculture #genderequality #agriculture #empowerment #internationalwomensday #FGHAgribusiness

Bringing together women from diverse segments of the food and agriculture sector; farmers, agripreneurs, policymakers, chefs, and storytellers, the fellowship fostered accelerated collaborations and knowledge exchange. This holistic approach created a "ladder for quick growth," as fellows were able to leverage each other's expertise and networks to advance their ventures and drive impact more rapidly. Reflecting on this experience, I realized, "Having a community is important, but creating an interconnected ecosystem within that community is the game changer." This statement captures the essence of the fellowship: the creation of a dynamic ecosystem that enables women to thrive, innovate, and lead.

Switzerland brings the realities of women at grassroots level to the table at the 68th Session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women in New York.   In Georgia the SDC supports a project that enhances the resilience and livelihoods of rural women dairy producers. Through Farmer Field Schools, Switzerland is helping to strengthen women’s capacities on food safety, leadership and entrepreneurship. As a result, these women set up their own enterprises, expand their activities and guarantee their revenues.   #genderequality #CSW68 #womenempowerment #economicempowerment FAO UN Women
