Women in Agriculture day declared March 21, 2024   RESOLUTION   Designating March 21, 2024, as #‘‘National Women in Agriculture Day’’. IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES     Whereas the United States proudly recognizes agriculture as one of the most impactful industries of the United States and acknowledges the countless women who help agriculture prosper both in the United States and abroad.   Whereas there are more than 1,200,000 female agricultural producers in the United States, making up more than 1 ⁄3 of the agricultural producers in the United States.   Whereas, in 2022, farms operated by women in the United States sold $222,000,000,000 in agricultural products, accounting for 36 percent of the total agriculture sales in the United States for that year.   Whereas, in addition to leading farming operations, women working in agriculture make a difference across the United States in various commodity and industry fields, including research and development, manufacturing, sales and distribution, agricultural education, agribusiness, and advocacy, which extend benefits to individuals across the globe through the #international trade of the United States.   Whereas the United States recognizes that women are vital in fostering the next generation of the agricultural workforce by promoting science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and agricultural education and entrepreneurial and community initiatives by serving as mentors for the 4-H Program, the National FFA Organization, the Cooperative Extension System, and numerous postsecondary agricultural science educator programs.   Whereas March is #National Women’s History Month   Whereas female professionals, instructors, and leaders in the agricultural field should be celebrated for their efforts during #National Ag Week, which takes place between March 17 and March 23, 2024.   Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the Senate designates #March 21, 2024, as ‘‘National Women in Agriculture Day". 1. recognizes the important role of women in agriculture as producers, educators, leaders, mentors, and more 2. encourages all citizens to a.      recognize women working in agriculture. b.      praise the significant positive impact those women have on the food resources and the agricultural workforce of the United States by encouraging and empowering women to enter the agricultural field, which is a high-demand field of work; cultivate opportunities to lead; and feed a hungry world.     Barbara Wellink/Caroline Berenschot Feitel/Alya de Bie-Kamerling/Lidy Feijt/Ton van Arnhem

A look back at the round table discussion "The Scope 3 challenge: sensing technology to unlock better nitrogen management" at the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit. 🌱 Thank you to everyone who participated and enriched our roundtable 🤝. This session highlighted the importance of Scope 3 emissions, which often represent the largest source of GHG emissions for companies, particularly in the consumer goods sector (CPG). These emissions are complex to quantify and manage, but taking them into account is essential to any global climate strategy 🌍. Discussion focused on the importance of advanced sensing technology in nitrogen management, a key strategy for reducing these emissions in agriculture.🌾 Samuel Fournier, our Co-Founder & CEO and Guillaume Breton-Ménard, our COO shared their insights on the effective integration of these technologies into sustainability strategies, while underlining the importance of the value chain and nitrogen management. The perspectives shared at this meeting are valuable assets, offering strategic directions for innovation and sustainability in the agricultural sector 🚜. We all left this summit inspired and ready to turn these challenges into opportunities for more sustainable agriculture. 📅 Don't miss our next presence at the World Agri-Tech's South America Summit, on June 18 and 19! --- We are ChrysaLabs and we provide soil insights that generate land value.

📣 Today's Wonder Woman Wednesday shines a light on the transformative power of Innovative Training Programs in empowering women in agriculture. Despite comprising 43% of the agricultural workforce globally, women often encounter systemic hurdles in accessing resources, technology, and decision-making opportunities. These challenges significantly impact their participation and productivity in the agricultural sector. 🤝 In response, the Gender-responsive Researchers Equipped for Agricultural Transformation (GREAT) and the CGIAR Excellence in Agronomy Initiative launched a groundbreaking training course in October 2023. This course, tailored for Use Case teams and demand partners, prioritizes the integration of gender and youth perspectives for equitable and sustainable agronomic solutions. 👉 Join us in celebrating the remarkable women who participated in our recent training program! Swipe to hear directly from a few of these inspiring individuals. 💡 Learn more about The Role of Innovative Training Programs in empowering women in agriculture here: https://lnkd.in/d8wUSGaN #WonderWomanWednesday #EmpoweringWomen #Agriculture #Innovation #CountHerIn #InspireInclusion Wivine Munyahali Huu Diem Ha Nguyen #HunaneElwazziki Rita Stacey CGIAR International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) AfricaRice AfricaRice, Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), International Potato Center (CIP), ICARDA; International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas World Agroforestry CIFOR-ICRAF ICRISAT International Rice Research Institute Mercy Corps AgriFin

Dr. Barbara Correia, Principal Research Scientist at B-hive Innovations, had the privilege of sharing insights on the evolving landscape of agriculture at REAP 2023 alongside a well-respected panel, collectively discussing how innovation for a sustainable supply chain.   At REAP 2023, Barbara showcased some of the many ways in which B-hive Innovations is working with UK agriculture, fresh produce organisations and farms to tackle issues facing the UK agricultural sector, developing solutions that cater to both independent farmers and large-scale agricultural and supply chain operations. From combating issues caused by climate change, and waste reduction to addressing crop pests and biological issues, B-hive Innovations is at the forefront of tackling challenges crucial to the sustainability of our food supply chain.   At a conference attended by respected figures in farming and agriculture, it was an honour for B-hive to be represented by Barbara and to contribute to the conversation about securing the future of agriculture in the UK.   Check out the details in the article linked below for more on this critical discussion.

Heading home after the AGIC Australian Grains Industry Conference, a good few days reconnecting with colleagues & friends from across the Australian Grains Industry. Having attended about half of the last 15 annual conferences, my reflections of 2023 are: 👨👩👧👦a much broader range of the industry now attends the conference, not just the “trade” gathering, but the full supply chain - plant breeders, growers, transport and infrastructure, export, consumers & customers 👩🌾perhaps as a result, the gender balance is slowly improving at this conference. I remember being one of ~ 10 women in the >400 crowd, now it would be 15-20% women 🌱sustainability is front and centre, with discussions around focusing on framework and values, over prescriptive practices. But reporting continues to be work in progress 🌾production ag has kicked some serious goals and reset the benchmark thanks to evolution in farming practices, plant breeding and favourable seasons… and the export supply chain, market participants and even the government have risen to the challenge to store, move and fund the recent record crops 🚜Australian crops’ emissions intensity is world leading, a great launching pad but a collaborative focus on seriously reducing/removing emissions from fertiliser is needed for agriculture to make meaningful contribution to carbon emission reductions Some snapshots of presentations from Grains Research and Development Corporation Australian Farm Institute Department of Primary Industries & Regional Development (DPIRD) Grain Trade Australia
