Wonderful empowering call to action to save our earth through sustainable farming and the support and celebration of women farmers who are also community caretakers/leaders/nurturers. Thank you for your work and bringing the voices of the women creating more sustainable, local food systems essential for the survival of humanity and the wild ecosystems necessary to support all life.

Thank you for a wonderful and informative talk Danielle. It stuns me that less than 6000 people have viewed this talk when it affects all of us directly. As you say we are all people who need to eat. I expect this reflects the true denial that most people are in about the food growth needs that are ever increasing around the world. Our society is truly one of reaction not proaction. Hopefully more people through your great work and others as such will begin to understand the looming crisis and support all small farmers (men and women) around the world.
I hope we will soon begin to see more and more sustainable food growth operations in Canada because importing fresh food is costing the consumers here staggering amounts. When fresh food is costly, cheap packaged food is the replacement. The costs of cheap package food related to health costs is beyond numbers.

I understand your passion Danielle, passion is always needed to progress any conceived notion. Capacity building, skills transfer is something as a Business volunteering we all work towards, with non gender equality.
Sustainable or Organic agriculture is becoming the normal in developing countries.
Why it in many cases its needed to slow down pollution of rivers caused by fertilisers leaching into them. Also chemicals (pesticides& insecticides) used to control plant infestations.
Focusing on one gender is counter-productive I believe. What we need to focus on is alleviating poverty. Creating a framework to empower farmers other stakeholders as we start empowering by education they gain confidence. Its a rewarding "Business Volunteering"
