Cultivating Change: Women Reclaiming and Transforming Food Systems Webinar Series | International Year of the Woman Farmer

In the context of the International Year of the Woman Farmer, this three-part international webinar series brings together policy-makers, development practitioners, civil society organisations and researchers to highlight the realities of women farmers and discuss solutions for more inclusive and gender-responsive food systems. The series places a particular focus on gender-transformative approaches that address power relations and social norms.

The series is jointly organised by GIZ FemHub, UN Women Germany and Rural Women’s Assembly with each partner bringing distinct expertise — from global advocacy and grassroots organising to practical tools and implementation experience. Together, the partners aim to strengthen dialogue, share evidence and experiences, and identify practical pathways to advance gender equality in agriculture and food systems worldwide.

The webinar series explores the role of women farmers in food systems from different perspectives — from lived realities and structural barriers to concrete solutions and policy approaches. Each session includes keynote inputs, moderated discussions and interactive audience engagement.
