Women play a vital role in agroecology, contributing significantly to sustainable farming, seed preservation, soil health, and community-based food systems. Despite their essential contributions, they often face structural barriers such as limited land ownership, restricted access to credit, training, and decision-making platforms. Agroecology, with its emphasis on social equity and ecological sustainability, offers a transformative opportunity to recognize and uphold women’s rights. This includes ensuring their right to land, participation, knowledge-sharing, and leadership in food systems. Empowering women through agroecology strengthens biodiversity, food sovereignty, and community resilience, making gender justice a cornerstone of sustainable agriculture.
