Women's leadership in Brazilian agriculture

Overview

Efforts to empower women in Brazil’s agricultural and cooperative sectors have expanded through various regional initiatives. In Paraná, the 14th State Meeting of Rural Female Producers in Cascavel gathered over 1,600 women to discuss leadership in property management and agricultural succession. The FAEP System has been working to promote female protagonism, aiming to establish women’s commissions across all 163 rural unions in the state.

In other regions, similar movements are gaining momentum. In Dourados, the CERGRAND Women’s Committee held meetings to encourage women to occupy decision-making roles within cooperatives. Meanwhile, in Orleans, collaborations between local government and the Peasant Women’s Movement have focused on the conservation of creole seeds and food production, utilizing technical training to preserve generational knowledge and support family farming.
