ForWard: Finding Opportunities and Roles of Women in Agriculture and Rural Development ForWard is AGREA’s flagship program that puts women at the center of moving agriculture and rural development in 5 pilot agricultural communities in the Philippines. The initiative focuses on core areas of education and sustainable livelihood, both of which are supported and strengthened by policy, and all three holistically amplified by an inspiring movement. Guided by the 3Es Framework for Sustainable Agri-Women Empowerment, the program consists of three dynamic and interconnected areas: enabling environment, educational opportunities, and economic empowerment. They will provide educational opportunities and materials for women food producers to build theirs skills, capacities and financial literacy. Another component will be dedicated to helping women farmers and producers to organize themselves into a more fomalized federation that will be guided and mentored through seed funding and market linkages.
