A political opportunity to overcome structural barriers for women farmers

2026-01-21

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)

The International Year of the Woman Farmer (IYWF), launched by the United Nations for 2026, is more than a symbolic moment. It is a political opportunity – and responsibility – for German development cooperation. This is what the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) emphasised during Grüne Woche trade fair in Berlin.

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is a globally active provider of international cooperation for sustainable development. It has more than 50 years of experience in a wide range of fields.

All contributions

During the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture (GFFA) and Grüne Woche 2026 in January, the International Year of the Woman Farmer was one of the key topics. Not only right after the opening of the BMZ booth of the trade fair, even during a high-level Networking Event hosted by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the launch of this special year has been celebrated and discussed.

During the panel at the BMZ booth titled “Strong Women. Strong Agriculture. 2026, the International Year of the Woman Farmer”, Parliamentary State Secretary Dr Bärbel Kofler discussed with partners the crucial role female farmers play for agricultural and food systems. Indeed, only 15 percent of women worldwide own land, emphasised Kofler. Despite their contributions and hard work in the agricultural and food sector.

Men are not competitors to women, but companions and women should work with them when it comes to their rights and representation, emphasised Nkoloka Halwindi, founder of Nkoka Women in Agro-Business (NWAB) in Zambia. The farmers’ organisation has around 6,000 members. It is supported by the Andreas Hermes Akademie (AHA) in organisational development. AHA is partner of the GIZ Global Programme Strengthening Farmers' Organisations for Sustainable Agricultural Development. The programme strongly supports young and female farmers in strengthening their leadership and advocacy skills. And there is still a lot to lobby for when it comes to women’s interests, Nkoloka Halwindi knows: She describes financing as a major barrier for women in agriculture.

In Germany, too, women face structural hurdles in the agricultural and food sector, added Christine Reitelshöfer, Second Vice President of the German Rural Women (dlv). They lack access to land and heritage and often are still not part of the decision-making.

This is why the rights, resources and representation of rural women remain crucial, Dr Kofler summarised.

Feminist policy as a remaining priority

The GIZ project “Feminist Approaches to Resilient Agriculture and Food Systems (FemHub)” on behalf of BMZ had also invited partners to a networking event on the IYWF during the trade fair. Dr Andreas Schaumayer, Head of Division for Food Security and Fisheries at BMZ, stated in his opening speech: “Women are essential to agricultural production, food security and rural livelihoods.” However, women continued to face persistent barriers, he said: unequal access to land and inheritance, limited access to finance and services, restricted participation in decision-making and leadership, and a disproportionate burden of unpaid care work.

“These barriers are not marginal – they are structural”, Dr Schaumayer stated. They limited not only women’s rights and opportunities, but also the resilience, sustainability and productivity of agriculture and food systems as a whole. “This is why the International Year of the Woman Farmer is more than a symbolic moment. It is a political opportunity to sharpen focus, mobilise alliances and push for concrete and lasting change”, Dr Schaumayer underlined.

BMZ just a few days before the event had launched its new reform plan “Shaping the future together globally“, emphasising that feminist policy remains a priority for German development cooperation. “In agricultural and food systems, this translates into gender-responsive policies, investments in women’s economic empowerment, stronger women’s organisations and cooperation to address structural barriers at national and international levels”, Schaumayer explained.

During the event, Tacko Ndiaye, Gender team lead of the Rural Transformation and Gender Equality Division at the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), invited participants to join forces and engagement during the year. When women were empowered, they could enhance the well-being of their families and communities, she said during her presentation. Women could furthermore reduce hunger, improve dietary diversity and nutrition, boost incomes and economies and finally strengthen the resilience of households to shocks.

She presented the vision of the IYWF that FAO launched in December:

“A world where women farmers, in all their diversity, are fully recognized, supported and empowered with equal rights, resources, and decision-making power to drive food security, nutrition, poverty reduction, and resilient, sustainable agrifood systems”.

She outlined that during the year, FAO and partners want to raise awareness of the crucial role women farmers play in agricultural and food systems. It wants to highlight actions that can help close the gender gaps. Finally, the year should channel policy making, programming and increased investment.

Elizabeth Nsimadala, president of the Eastern Africa Farmers Federation (EAFF), embraced the celebration of women throughout the year. Women are key pillars of families, communities and societies and needed to be seen, she said. She appreciated the support of GIZ and AHA in strenghening her farmers organisation and that regional and global decision-making platforms and fora give women farmers and their organisations the space to address their issues. She called for collective empowerment and shared responsibility across genders.

Young female farmer Gugulethu Mahlangu from South Africa stated during a panel discussion, that despite many challenges especially for agripreneurs like her, she sees agriculture as a career, having built her own business she proudly presented. She is founder of House Harvest (Pty) Ltd, an enterprise integrating fish farming, indigenous crops, insect protein and renewable energy. Gugulethu is furthermore Vice President of the Youth Leadership Incubation Programme (YLIP) 2025 of the Southern African Confederation of Agricultural Unions (SACAU). The programme implemented with the AHA strengthens youth leadership in regional farmers’ organisations. Gugulethu’s work there focuses on innovation, food security, and just transition pathways in Southern Africa.

Law student Camara Castro, Assistant Project Coordinator of the AMKA Africa Justice Initiative in Kenya, gave some insights on his work providing legal information to women. He focuses on access to justice, women’s land rights and legal empowerment in agricultural and rural contexts. He emphasised that women needed information on their rights and certain laws to self-empower. “Justice goes beyond law”, he stated, underscoring the importance of addressing the broader social and structural context.

Christina Arkenberg of UN Women Germany sees the IYWF as a chance for urgent reforms in women’s land rights, resources and social protection. She highlighted the impact of climate change for women and their need for financial support to become climate actors. During the year, it would be important to have a look at bottom-up initiatives, too, she said. A lot on the list for a very special year to come. The journey of the IYWF2026 just has begun.

Protectionist policies like tariffs supposedly protect domestic producers if they cannot compete with cheaper imported products.

Kenya is a large importer of vetable oils mainly from Indonesia and Malaysia - amongst them sunflower oil. Due to the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, there were supply bottlenecks and food shortages, leading to less affordable vegetable oils in Kenya. As a response to the lack of supply, the Sanga'alo Institute of Science and Technology, took that impulse, teamed up with the GIZ and established regional cultivation and refinement of sunflowers.
