Recognizing the importance of integrating women into agriculture, female farmers are working to overcome traditional family roles and misperceptions about the role of women in agriculture.

Thirty-seven small holder female farmers in Montenegro have benefitted from grants from the Montenegro Institutional Development and Agricultural Strengthening (MIDAS) to improve their farms.

Ljiljana K., a grant recipient, sparked the idea for a workshop specifically for female farmers to network and discussion about their needs face-to-face.
