Female Farmer Highlights Gender Disparities in Agriculture
Amy Spraggon, a farmer in York Region, is advocating for greater recognition of women's contributions to agriculture. Despite running a successful farm, Spraggon often finds her work overlooked in favor of male counterparts. This issue reflects a broader trend in the agricultural industry, where women's roles are frequently undervalued. The United Nations has designated 2026 as the International Year of the Woman Farmer to address these disparities and promote gender equality in agrifood systems.
