Key Points

This resolution officially supports naming 2026 as the International Year of the Woman Farmer. It is designed to honor the hard work and leadership of women in the farming industry both in America and around the world.
There are more than 1.2 million women working as agricultural producers in the United States. This group makes up about 36% of all the people who run farms and ranches across the country.
The resolution encourages more women to start careers in agriculture and take on leadership roles. It highlights how women help feed the world through farming, research, education, and business.
This is a symbolic action, meaning it does not create new laws or change how the government spends money. Its main purpose is to raise public awareness and celebrate the contributions women make to the food system.
