Earth Day - Sister Farm Launch
Dear all,
On the occasion of Earth Day, in partnership with Patagonia, and as part of the International Year of the Woman Farmer, we are launching a global initiative to connect, support, and empower women farmers and women entrepreneurs — the backbone of sustainable, resilient food systems.
Launch: April 22 | Earth Day at 9:15 CET
See here the Patagonia sponsored event
Join us directly online on the day via Zoom
In the spirit of the International Year of the Woman Farmer, we create safe spaces for learning, wellbeing, and leadership.
This event will include a space for dialogue with you and other change-makers from around the world, together with the UN Global Conscious Food Systems Alliance, WAFA (Water, Air, Food Awards), Generation Green, Alliance Verte Suisse, Green Farmlands, Votre Cercle de Vie, WomenGro Initiative and other partners and members.
Learn more about the 4 pioneering women leaders who joined as the first two tandems:
Esther Mottier-Gerber – Mbah Atim → connected through Sister Farm, already collaborating across regions.
lilian Nakigozi – Marie-Antoinette Micheli → already working together, but their partnership was formalized and catalyzed by Sister Farm.
Why Sister Farm matters: Reduces isolation & builds solidarity
