As we celebrate the 2025 National Women’s Month, ECOWEB recognizes and honors the vital role of women in building resilient and sustainable communities. This year’s theme, “Babae sa Lahat ng Sektor, Aangat ang Bukas sa Bagong Pilipinas.”, resonates deeply with the efforts of women in agriculture, particularly in promoting Climate Smart Agriculture.
One inspiring example is the participation of women from various backgrounds in the Abaca Macro-Propagation Training and Food Always in the Home (FAITH) Gardening held in Kauswagan, Sibagat, Agusan del Sur. This initiative, facilitated by ECOWEB under the GreenFiber Project, empowers women to take the lead in sustainable farming practices, ensuring food security and climate resilience in their communities.
The Role of Women in Climate Smart Agriculture
Women at the Forefront of Climate Resilience
Through hands-on learning, these women are mastering abaca propagation techniques while integrating FAITH gardening—a strategy that promotes home-based organic food production. By doing so, they not only strengthen their livelihoods but also contribute to mitigating climate change effects by practicing sustainable farming methods.
Women have always been at the forefront of agricultural activities, but their roles are evolving with the increasing need for climate resilience. The GreenFiber Project is a testament to how women’s leadership and participation are crucial in adopting Climate Smart Agriculture practices. These practices not only ensure food security but also contribute to mitigating the adverse effects of climate change.
Impact on the Community
Empowering Women, Strengthening Communities
From young aspiring farmers to seasoned agriculturalists, the active participation of women in this initiative underscores their crucial role in community development. Their dedication proves that women are not just contributors to agriculture but key decision-makers in shaping a climate-smart future.
The involvement of women in these initiatives is creating a ripple effect in their communities. Their leadership in Climate Smart Agriculture is inspiring others to adopt sustainable practices, leading to broader environmental and economic benefits. The GreenFiber Project is not just about agricultural innovation; it is about building a resilient and empowered community.
This Women’s Month, ECOWEB continues to advocate for gender-inclusive programs that elevate women’s voices and leadership in environmental sustainability and disaster resilience. Together, let’s celebrate and support women in agriculture—because when women thrive, communities flourish! Happy National Women’s Month 2025!
