Women in Ag Award 

The role of women in agriculture, in the agribusiness and in the agricultural sciences is changing worldwide. The Women in Ag Awards pay tribute to this commitment and tell the stories behind these inspiring women.

For the fourth time, we are organizing this competition together with the “Women in Ag magazine”, which gives women from all over the world the opportunity to tell their stories and present their impressive achievements. In recent years, women from more than 40 nations have applied, and they all have one thing in common: they are heard and build a strong network that supports and connects them.
