In the last decade, strides have been made to uplift women farmers and address their unique challenges but the underrepresentation of women in decision-making roles remains a persistent issue. Only a mere 14% of women in AgBioTech manage to climb the ladder to secure coveted leadership roles. And it plummets to less than 2% in leadership positions within research and design (R&D).
The dynamic world of startups is bringing about a transformation, with AgBioTech female founders making a conscious effort to foster inclusivity and provide greater opportunities for women within their ventures.
The ‘Women In Leadership Series’ puts the spotlight on these pioneering women, who are leading the change in agricultural biotechnology (AgBioTech). As our planet faces the dual challenges of climate change and a growing population, these inspiring women stand at the crossroads, offering solutions that are sustainable, efficient, and kinder to our planet.
Through our power-packed fireside chats, we bring to you inspirational journeys and leadership lessons from the mavens themselves, who are making sure that as the world grows, nobody goes hungry, and the earth stays green.
