Today is the International Day of Rural Women! Did you know that almost one-third of women’s employment worldwide is in the agricultural sector? Rural women play a crucial role in agriculture, food security and nutrition, as well as land and natural resource management. Today we want to put them in the spotlight and thank them for the powerful role they play in driving global progress.
