The project supports 200 women farmers from 15 groups throughout France through discussion and training activities and research initiatives to combat gender stereotypes and recognise their important contribution to the transition towards sustainable agriculture.
In France, being a woman farmer is a challenge in a male-dominated sector where women’s tasks have a low profile and where they only have limited access to areas of decision-making. They encounter gender-related obstacles throughout their career. Yet they are initiating a change towards agriculture that is respectful of humans and resources. Supporting them in their involvement in decision-making on farms is an important lever in moving towards more sustainable agriculture.
