Jóvenes y mujeres: conservando la agrobiodiversidad
January 19, 2026

"We don't just see a seed, a product; it's a way to preserve our life," states Luz Ramos of Peru's Youth Network for Agrobiodiversity. Family farming across the country protects our agrobiodiversity. In 2026, FAO will celebrate the #YearOfTheWomanFarmer, recognizing generations of women who have sustained life from the earth. Celebrating these farmers means celebrating the life that grows from the soil and reaches our tables. #IYWF2026
