Back for its fifth year, our Women in Agriculture campaign is returning — and this year, in honour of our 20th anniversary and Women’s History Month, we’re spotlighting “Words from Women”, featuring insights and inspiration from all of our past participants.

Through this campaign, we celebrate the resilience, innovation, and leadership of women who are shaping the future of Ontario’s agricultural sector, from local food producers to environmental stewards across the Greenbelt.

We’re proud to continue uplifting women who are strengthening Ontario’s local food systems and inspiring the next generation of agricultural leaders.
