Women are playing an essential role in Colombia’s agrifood system, as farmers, entrepreneurs, knowledge holders across generations and community leaders. The Netherlands Agricultural Network (LAN) team at the Dutch Embassy in Bogotá highlights the stories of two women who use their knowledge, entrepreneurship and leadership to create opportunities and build a more sustainable future. Their experiences also reflect some of the practical challenges women in rural areas continue to navigate, such as unequal pay and access to land, finance and decision-making.
