Women’s Call to Action

The Women Changing the Face of Agriculture is a conference as well as an investment in the future of agriculture. This outreach project gives all women the opportunity to explore different career paths offered in the agriculture sector.

The reality is that women all over the world still need to stand up and fight for what should be granted to them without question. It is important to take the time to commend the female leaders and friends in our lives. It is most important to take tangible steps, seen in the success of the Women’s Changing the Face of Agriculture Conference, to shape a future where the lessons learned become part of everyday mentalities.
