Success needs diversity.
The number of farms in Germany is declining, labour is scarce. Diversity in thought and action is needed so that we can continue to be economically successful and secure the supply of high-quality agricultural products.
The Female Agri Fellows stand for this diversity in thought and action. As an entrepreneur of a farm, a woman in agribusiness, a scientist, an engineer, a lecturer, a journalist or a blogger.
The Female Agri Fellows network and offer perspectives for national and international agriculture. We turn our commitment into a profession and support companies in becoming more diverse. This is how we make our professional contribution to a successful and diverse agriculture of the future.

Get involved in the DLG committees!
We firmly believe that an agricultural sector that is equally driven by women and men will be a better one. But we also recognise that women are not yet represented in sufficient numbers in the DLG. We want to change that.
We are looking for women from practice, research and teaching, from industry and start-ups who want to shape the future of the agriculture and food industry and contribute their professional expertise. Raise your "digital hand" if you would like to get involved or if you know someone you would like to nominate. We have put together a few interesting offers for you.
DLG Committee for Digitalisation, Labour Economics and Process Technology
Practising farmers and representatives from science, consulting and industry meet twice a year in the DLG Committee for Digitalisation, Work Management and Process Technology to discuss current topics in agricultural business management (animal and plant production).
Current committee topics:
- Interfaces between software systems
- Interoperability between systems and standards
- Validation of sensor systems and digital tools
DLG Committee for Technology in Crop Productions
In the DLG Committee for Technology in Plant Production, farmers, scientists, consultants and industry representatives work on current agricultural technology issues in the field of plant production. Two meetings are usually held each year at different locations. The results are published as information sheets, working documents or at events.
Current committee topics:
- Traction and soil conservation
- Future of agricultural engineering tests
- Future drive concepts (what comes after diesel)?
- Future tilling and sowing methods (adaptation to climate change)
- Resilience of modern agricultural technology
For companies
Support Female Agri Fellows as a company. You'll benefit from ideas on how to promote, retain and inspire women for leadership positions in your company.

Studying agricultural sciences as a young woman was the best decision I could have made. Today, I am absolutely satisfied and fulfilled with my position in my husband's farming business - including with regard to my other goals in life.

Agriculture, in its great diversity, is one of the most interesting industries, in which people work with all their strength for the farms and companies. For me, agriculture is more than just a profession or a subject area, but an absolute vocation and a matter of the heart.
