Farming First is going to debate the issues. Uniting over 130 organisations from around the world, Farming First is one of the most diverse and active agricultural coalitions in the world. Farming First supporters represent the world’s farmers, scientists and engineers as well as agribusiness associations and non-governmental organisations.
Watch the video below to better understand what Agrilinks #AskAg Twitter chats are. Also, as part of their efforts to get everyone comfortable with using Twitter, Agrilinks produced 101/102 trainings that can be accessed by clicking here.
Guiding questions
- What challenges do women in family farming face in the developing world, and what do they need to thrive?
- How can we reach more women farmers worldwide with tools and skills they need?
- What are the success stories that show the benefits of investing in rural women? How do we measure this success?
- How do we identify and empower male allies in the quest to improve women-run family farms?
- Women farmers are often both the breadwinners and the bread bakers. How do we improve the nutritional status of family farms?
The chat is organized around these five guiding questions. If you have additional questions you'd like to ask the experts, tweet @Agrilinks using the #AskAg hashtag!
