May 11, 2026 | 1 min to read
The year 2026 has been officially designated by the United Nations as the International Year of the Woman Farmer (IYWF), an initiative led by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to bring greater visibility to the role of women in agriculture and move them from the margins to the center of global policy discussions.

The conversation also addressed the structural barriers that remain, as well as how a fresh perspective is helping transform blueberries from a traditional commodity into a high-value, modern snack category.
