The year 2026 is a common year that starts on a Thursday on the Gregorian calendar. The United Nations General Assembly has officially declared 2026 as the International Year of the Woman Farmer. This is a global initiative with the support of about 100 countries that recognises the role of women in agriculture. This underscores the importance of uplifting women engaged in the agriculture sector.
This observance worldwide will draw attention to the role played by women in the global food and agriculture industry. It would address the challenges womenfolk face in agriculture and would help to address it. This initiative would focus on gender equality, food security and helps to alleviate poverty on a global level.
