Overview

Women Farmers Agroecology Scholarship Program

Overview: Grow Ahead invites women from Africa, Asia, or Latin America over 18 years of age to apply for scholarships to support capacity building and training in agroecology and regenerative organic agriculture.

Geographic Scope: Africa, Asia, Latin America

Focus Areas:

  • Agroecology and regenerative organic agriculture

  • Agroforestry

  • Biochar

  • Compost

  • Holistic management

  • Conservation tillage

  • Pasture cropping

  • Silvopasture

  • Permaculture

  • Other practices that build climate resilience

    • Eligibility:

  • Women smallholder farmers

  • Ages 18 and older

  • From Africa, Asia, or Latin America

  • Seeking to attend workshops or trainings in their regions

    • Award Amount: Up to US$2,500 per scholarship

    Program Goals:

  • Support capacity building for women smallholder farmers

  • Create a multiplier effect by "training trainers" to spread agroecology knowledge and experiences

  • Close gender gap in agriculture (women make up 43% of agricultural labor force in developing countries and produce 60-80% of food crops)

  • Potential impact: If women smallholders receive equal access to productive resources, farm yields will rise by 20-30% and 100-150 million people will no longer be hungry

    • Status: Rolling basis, accepting applications continuously

    Organization: Grow Ahead Foundation (OR, US) - 501(c)(3) non-profit
