Through Her Lens: Women leading change in sustainable agriculture and market inclusion
Around the world, women are coming together to embrace sustainable farming practices and access high-value markets, including those that are voluntary sustainability standard (VSS)-compliant.
In this webinar, we will feature experts working with women farmers in Voluntary Sustainability Standard (VSS)-certified value chains. They will share insights and stories about how women have collaborated to adopt sustainable practices and improve their products, helping them reach higher-value markets.
We’ll hear directly about the experiences of those involved in women-led initiatives that have earned VSS certification. These stories will guide a discussion on how VSS-certification bodies can better support women’s groups and help them to succeed.
Interpretation will be provided in both French and Spanish for this event.
