World Food Day
The International Year of the Woman Farmer
Mark Your Calendars
Join us on Sunday afternoon, October 18, 2:30 p.m., to help us celebrate women farmers in New Mexico and other places around the globe. We will announce a location soon.
As part of the Food and Agriculture Organizaton's International Year of the Woman Farmer campaign, we will hear personal stories from several women in New Mexico, from different backgrounds and skills, on the challenges and successes related to growing crops and performing other functions to feed their communities. According to the FAO, women play crucial roles across agrifood systems, but also face more precarious working conditions, heavier workloads, and unequal access to resources.
We will also link our program to the FAO's overall theme for World Food Day, Innovate Today. Nourish Tomorrow.
The program is sponsored by the Interfaith Hunger Coalition, Surgite: A Sacred Dance Company and the Turkish Raindrop community in Albuquerque.
Another Commemoration: The Turkish Raindrop Foundation will also offer a program related to World Food Day at its monthly brunch on Sunday, Oct. 25. Stay tuned for details and registration information.
