Consolidated Advocacy Brief, IYWF 2026

The Consolidated Advocacy Brief is the coalition’s flagship output for the International Year of Women Farmers 2026. It synthesizes country-level data, scientific findings, and grassroots case studies into a single evidence base spanning all four thematic pillars.

Grounded in the perspectives of young women farmers and the organizations closest to them, the brief translates lived realities into advocacy-relevant recommendations for the Youth Policy Board, governments, World Food Forum chapters, and youth-led organizations.

Key messages

• Inclusive access to technology and digital innovation must reach small-scale and young women farmers, not only large operators.

• Secure land tenure, fair financing, and social protection are preconditions for resilient livelihoods.

• Trade and geopolitical shifts have uneven local impacts that global frameworks often miss.

• Women farmers are knowledge holders and leaders, embedded across every theme rather than isolated in one.
