Creating a supportive environment for women in agriculture and water leadership is important for ensuring future water and food security around the globe. Water and agriculture are closely tied and the first two sessions of this webinar iseries, we'll hear from women currently making an impact in this space through various programs or projects, and from those specifically working to empower women, advance educational opportunities and organize programming related to women in ag and water.
In the first session, we are excited to hear from award-winning chef, entrepreneur, and agriculture advocate, Louise Mabulo, as she discusses youth and sustainable solutions to food security. Mabulo promotes sustainable agriculture and farm-to-table cuisine and was recently awarded as a Young Champion of the Earth by United Nations Environment Programme.
Following Mabulo’s talk, there will be a Q+A panel to also include several University of Nebraska students studying agriculture and human dimensions.
