Webinar 6: Collective Strength, Inclusive Leadership: FPOs & Women in Agri Transition

​India’s FPO ecosystem is growing but women still face barriers in stepping into leadership roles and decision-making spaces. This session brings together leaders from entrepreneurship, brand building, community development, and gender equity to explore how we can design more inclusive FPOs where women lead with confidence, credibility, and collective strength.

​Together, we’ll unpack practical strategies to embed equity into FPO structures, value chains, and market linkages while staying true to community roots.

​🔍 What We’ll Explore:

• ​Building inclusive capacity-building models for women in FPOs

• ​Strengthening women’s role in governance beyond token representation

• ​Positioning women-led agri-products as strong, competitive brands

• ​Enabling access to digital retail, modern trade & export opportunities

• ​Embedding traditional knowledge into FPO value chains

• ​Making OD practices gender-just and intersectional

• ​Nurturing second-line leadership in low-literacy, rural contexts

• ​Reimagining FPOs as platforms for collective empowerment

​🎤 Featuring voices from Climate Asia, VAAGDHARA, Transform Rural India, and leading experts in entrepreneurship & brand strategy.
