During our last General Assembly in Luxembourg, WFO wanted to honour all the women farmers who are contributing to a better agricultural sector and a better world through their leadership in farmers’ organisations.
To thank these great women for all their efforts in supporting the world farmers, a tree for each of them was planted and marked with their name and it will forever be out there on the web, for them to see in a digital garden.
From the farmers from all the corners of this globe, the best wishes to the awarded Women Farmers Leaders: Katrina Sarah Milne, President, Federated Farmers of New Zealand, New Zealand; Minette Batters, President, UK National Farmers Union, UK; Sonja de Becker, President, Boerenbond, Belgium; Veronica Barbati, President, Coldiretti Youth, Italy; Mary Robinson, President, Canadian Federation of Agriculture, Canada; Christiane Lambert, President, FNSEA, France; An Sarun, President, Cambodian Farmers Association Federation of Agricultural Producers, Cambodia; Fiona Simson, President, National Farmers’ Federation Australia, Australia; Elizabeth Mpofu, General Coordinator, La Via Campesina; Elizabeth Nsimadala, President, Eastern Africa Farmers Federation, EAFF; Marianne Streel, President, Fédération Wallonne de l’Agriculture, Belgium; Elisabeth Atangana, President, Concertation Nationale des Organisations Paysannes du Cameroun, Cameroun; Agita Hauka, President, Latvian Farmers’ Federation, Latvia; Teresa Hałas, President, NSZZ RI Solidarność, Poland.
