October 15: World Rural Women's Day
Rural women make up more than a quarter of the world population. They hold a key role in food production and contribute to the wellbeing of their families, rural economies, and food security. Some suggested actions:
- Write a letter to the editor of your local or regional paper about the importance of rural women in our states and around the world for food production and food security
- Invite women farmers to discuss their lives and struggles
- Create an award for exceptional local rural women or women's groups
- Link up with sister organizations for a joint event like a community meal
- Inform local media, the mayor, city council, and local business associations about what you're doing and why
