The United Nations has declared 2026 as the International Year of the Woman Farmer to highlight the critical role of women in ensuring global food security. It recognises their contribution across farming, allied activities and rural livelihoods.
In India, empowering women farmers is essential for achieving food security and economic growth. Initiatives like Namo Drone Didi and Bio-RIDE aim to transform women from labourers into agri-entrepreneurs, promoting innovation and climate-resilient practices. Strengthening their role will build a more inclusive and sustainable agricultural system.
APSC Relevance: Important for agriculture, gender empowerment and global initiatives.
