Celebrating International Year of the Woman Farmer

The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets is developing a Social Media Campaign highlighting some of Vermont's women farmers.

This coincides with U.S. introducing a resolution declaring 2026 as the International Year of the Women Farmer with 123 countries serving as co-sponsors. The UN General Assembly adopted it May 2, 2024, marking a global commitment to empowering and recognizing the contributions of women in agriculture.
