The latest issue of Women in Ag Magazine is out now!
As we are wrapping up a great year and looking forward to exciting projects to come, we launch this brand new issue of the magazine before we take a well-deserved holiday break. This magazine includes several of the Women in Ag Awards laureates, as well as a retrospective of the world’s biggest agricultural tradeshow, a review for holiday reading and… an announcement.
We had the honour of meeting several laureates of the Women in Ag Awards in person this year and jumped on the occasion to interview them on the spot. In this issue, you will meet Alicia, who grows tomatoes with recycled water on an island where agriculture was thought of as impossible; Robyn, who turned a school project into a national movement teaching children how to grow their food; Joëlla, who is turning waste into life with the help of black soldier flies and Cécile, a particle physicist who decided to be a part of the solution for the future of agriculture.
The Women in Ag Awards were not the only awards that put women in the spotlight this year, and so we also interviewed Arha, winner of the FIRA Women in Agrobotics Awards; and Nina, the only woman to win an Agri Influencer award this year at AgriTechnica. Speaking of AgriTechnica, this magazine contains a retrospective for those of you who couldn’t make it to Hannover this year. Yemisi Dorcas wrote another compelling column on harvest loss in Africa, while Antoon reviewed another book for you. Finally, we are happy to announce the birth of the Women in Ag Foundation in this issue!
I leave you with my best wishes for the holidays and the new year to come. May we find strength, inspiration and confidence in our growing sisterhood of women in ag.
Kim.
