International Year of the Woman Farmer 2026

I love farmers. 2026 is the International Year of the Woman Farmer. Farms all over the world benefit from the hard work of women farmers.

This is a year to take some time to celebrate them, whether they’re growing banana trees or they’re growing canola like back home in Canada. It’s also a chance to talk about the things that will help empower them – better aggregation, more cooperative collaboration and opportunities for them to gain access to finance.

This is the year of women farmers!
