Tackling inclusivity & gender balance in Irish farming

Women in Agriculture Stakeholders Group

We are a voluntary group with the aim to tackle inclusivity & gender balance in Irish farming in the next CAP.
About us

Helping to give women farmers a voice.

Women in Agriculture Stakeholders Group is an independent, voluntary body bringing together representatives from all Irish farming organisations, including the Irish Farmers Association, Irish Creamery and Milk Suppliers Association, Irish Cattle and Sheep Association, Macra na Feirme, Irish Organic Association, Irish Grain Growers Group, Irish Co-Operative Organisation Society, and the Irish Natura and Hill Sheep Farmers Association. Founded due to the critical need to address the lack of representation and recognition of women within Irish agricultural policies and organisations, the Group is in the process of incorporating as a cooperative in order to implement its long-term vision for greater inclusivity in the sector.
What We Stand For

"Equality between women and men is a core principle of the Union and gender mainstreaming is an important tool in the integration of that principle into to the CAP."

The Role Of Women In Farming

The role of women in agriculture has been overlooked in Irish history with little formal acknowledgement, despite the industry being a multi-billion-euro sector.

Despite CSO figures showing that over a quarter of those working on farms are women, their work is rarely officially recognised and they are essentially treated as a minority group.
