Agriculture can be an important engine of growth and poverty reduction. Therefore, we need to do more with less and discover new smart solutions for agriculture. While women make up 40% of the agricultural workforce in the developing world, according to The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, few are farm owners and growers. To be sure, AgTech is a window of opportunity to make a splash in both agriculture and technology for a gender that for many years was side-lined. Women in AgTech – in a field that emphasises ‘disruption’, we must be on the front lines of a collective push towards equality and change. Some of the most passionate actors and activists in food and AgTech are women, and in every corner of the world they are profoundly improve our relationship with nutrition. These are some of women who are striving to bring the tenacious challenges of the food system into the public consciousness, and we are honoured to invite them for this nomination. With this nomination we would like to present women with the aim to bring fresh new solutions into the field of agriculture, to promote women in food and agricultural technology for doing incredible work for sustainable food system. Let’s make agriculture smart TOGETHER!
