Who We Are: Proyecto Mujer Agro

Siete Agromarketing y eComercio Agrario work to achieve a greater share of representation and leadership for women, as the main challenge that this group still has to face within the agri-food sector. A group that constitutes a fundamental pillar for the development and future of the agri-food activity.

In this sense, the achievement of equal opportunities in the rural world and the agri-food sector happens because companies and their managers get involved with this challenge, together with the need for a real incorporation of women to make their activity visible in a sector in the one that is increasing the presence of the feminine sector and the work in parity.

The Mujer Agro project has four very specific actions where companies and institutions can participate:

• RED MUJER AGRO- Participation as a partner in all actions of the RED
• AGRO WOMEN FORUM
• IV WOMEN AGRO AWARDS
• ESPACIOS MUJER AGRO (training and / or motivational spaces)
