Women Farmers at the Heart of Food Security

Within the framework of the International Year of the Woman Farmer 2026, the World Farmers’ Organisation (WFO) hosted a webinar, “Women Farmers at the Heart of Food Security,” to highlight women farmers’ contribution to food security and sustainable agrifood systems. The event launched a broader series of discussions organised by the WFO Food Security Working Group, aimed at fostering dialogue, sharing experiences, and promoting evidence-based solutions to key food security issues affecting farmers worldwide. The webinar highlighted the role of women farmers in food security and nutrition; responded to findings from the 2026 SOFI Report; showcased good practices from farmers’ organisations across regions; and fostered dialogue on pathways to strengthen women’s contribution to food security. #FarmersInAction #IYWF2026 #YearOfTheWomanFarmer
