Meet Some of the Women Powering the Agrifood System
Agriculture has never simply been our occupation. It is the foundation of our family's life. Today, every member of our growing family plays an active role. Together, we remain committed to serving the agricultural community and ensuring our family's legacy of hard work and stewardship continues for generations to come.
Hoje tenho o privilégio de fazer parte de uma sucessão familiar formada exclusivamente por mulheres. Liderar, para mim, é unir coragem, responsabilidade e propósito para transformar pessoas, desenvolver a indústria de alimentos e representar o agronegócio brasileiro com orgulho. Se a nossa trajetória inspirar outras mulheres a acreditarem que também pertencem aos espaços de decisão, então estaremos construindo algo muito maior do que uma empresa.
I am passionate about creating opportunities for women in agriculture to be seen and heard. Through storytelling, networking, and leadership development, I help showcase the expertise and innovation of the women who are helping shape the future of our industry.
Empowering women farmers begins with telling their stories, creating opportunities for leadership, and encouraging the next generation to see themselves in agriculture. I hope to inspire young women to pursue careers in agriculture and help bridge the gap between producers and consumers.
Nasci no mesmo ano em que nasceu a empresa da minha família e cresci acompanhando sua evolução. Escolhi a Agronomia para transformar conhecimento em resultados e, hoje, lidero nossa produção com foco em qualidade, inovação e sustentabilidade, acreditando que preparo e persistência abrem caminhos para mais mulheres no agro.
Heredé el legado de mi padre y hoy estoy a cargo de la planeación, la administración, el manejo agronómico, las ventas y la coordinación de la inocuidad alimentaria en tres ranchos. Desde hace más de 10 años he estado involucrada en cada surco y en cada cultivo, asegurando que cada uno llegue a la cosecha con los más altos estándares de calidad e inocuidad.
For three generations, my family grew vegetables in open-field agriculture led by men. Today, around 70% of our greenhouse workforce is women, many of them are mothers. When I walk through the greenhouse, I don't just see rows of lettuce. I see women discovering what they are capable of.
I grew up on a cattle ranch and learned early the value of long days and hard work. I've now spent over a decade working to continuously improve the varieties available to growers. I'm proud to lead a team dedicated to advancing vegetable production every day.
I work alongside my family to continue a strong agricultural legacy rooted in Florida farming. I serve as President of the Florida Watermelon Association, advocating for the watermelon industry at the state and national levels, and as a teacher at Bell Elementary, I work to educate and inspire the next generation.
I'm a fifth-generation Salinasian who has worked in agriculture my entire career. I always enjoy meeting other women in agriculture, especially those just starting out. I try to share my experiences and the advice my mentors gave me: keep an open mind and never be afraid to ask questions.
Mi compromiso en la agricultura siendo mujer es muy grande, con mi trabajo y mi pasión por el campo quiero poner mi semilla a las futuras generaciones, que sepan que este trabajo no es solo para hombres, las mujeres somos fuertes, sabemos hacer las cosas muy bien y podemos liderar, cuidar la tierra y construir un futuro más fuerte para nuestras familias y comunidades.
