International Year of the Woman Farmer – Empowering Woman Farmers to tackle hunger, poverty and climate change
Start: 12:15 Rome time
The purpose of the event is to celebrate the UNGA declaration of 2026 as the International Year of the Woman Farmer (IYWF), garner support from members and build momentum for action in 2026. Through the IYWF, the international community will raise awareness of the challenges women face in agriculture, including limited access to property rights, land tenure, training, credit, markets, and climate-smart technologies, which are essential to adapt to the impacts of climate change on agricultural production and to sustainably increase productivity to feed a growing global population. Specifically, the IYWF will help highlight actions that can help close the gender gap and move us closer to achieving food security, gender equality, and the SDGs.
