The United Nations declared 2026 the International Year of the Woman Farmer (IYWF 2026). The Year spotlights the essential roles women play across agrifood systems, from production to trade, while often going unrecognized. Women farmers are central to food security, nutrition and economic resilience. IYWF 2026 raises awareness and promote actions to close the gender gaps and improve women’s livelihoods worldwide.


The logo symbolizes the unity and balance embodied by the woman farmer, with key farming pillars such as agriculture, forestry, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture arranged in a circular form. The vibrant colors reflect growth, empowerment, and her diverse roles in agriculture.
