The thematic event "Beyond gender barriers in the agrifood system: Innovative women improving food & soil health" is co-organised by EIT Food and EU project Nati00ns which supports the EU Mission "A Soil Deal for Europe" across national communities.

We are facing a number of social and environmental challenges, such as gender equality and climate change. For years we have thought those challenges were playing apart, but the truth is they work hand-to-hand every day.

For instance, a clear example is set in agrifood system, where there are countless women experts in the agrifood sector who have challenged gender gaps and have developed the most innovative solutions to improve food and soil health, among others.

The aim of this event is to meet and interact with women entrepreneurs and experts in the agrifood sector whose work contributes to the mission of transitioning to healthy soils by 2030. Throughout the event, topics such as regenerative agriculture, biodiversity, soil health and other hot topics will be discussed.

This event is part of a thematic webinar series on soils health. These compelling series of six European-wide events are conducted entirely online, featuring impactful introductions to specific topics by esteemed keynote speakers and real-world practitioners.
