SUMMARY:UN International Year of the Woman Farmer: Some Perspectives from Village Studies in India
DESCRIPTION:\nThe United Nations has declared 2026 as the International Year of the Woman Farmer to highlight the significant yet often overlooked contributions of women in the agricultural sector across the world. In this context, the Foundation for Agrarian Studies conducted the webinar, “UN International Year of the Woman Farmer: Some Perspectives from Village Studies in India”, on Thursday, March 26, 2026, from 4 pm IST onwards.\nIn this webinar, Madhura Swaminathan, Trustee of the Foundation for Agrarian Studies and former Professor and Head of the Economic Analysis Unit at the Indian Statistical Institute, situated the work of Indian women in agriculture within the global recognition of women farmers marked by this UN declaration.\nDrawing on evidence from village studies conducted by the Foundation for Agrarian Studies, she discussed the critical role women play in agrarian economies, the ways in which their labour continues to remain undervalued, unpaid, and invisible, and the importance of recognising this work. \nThe event was chaired by Divya Pradeep, Associate Professor, Department of Economics, CHRIST (Deemed to be University).\n\n\n
