Women in Food and Agriculture

In this live fireside chat session which includes a live Q&A we spoke to Tatiana Fadeeva, CEO at AGCO Machinery to better understand her career journey, her experiences quickly rising up the ranks in a male dominated industry and her opinions on driving diversity and equality in the food and ag industry.

In this episode we speak to Amy Wu, an award-winning writer for women’s ag and agtech movement. Amy has just published a book “From Farms to Incubators: Women Innovators Revolutionizing How Our Food Is Grown,” that profiles nearly 30 women innovators and leaders in the growing sector of agtech. Agtech encompasses innovations including drones, sensors, artificial intelligence and blockchain that help growers with the challenges they are facing including severe labor shortage, loss of arable land and water and land management issues. The book was inspired by the documentary “From Farms to Incubators: Telling the stories of minority women entrepreneurs in agtech in the Salinas Valley and beyond” originally released in 2017. The short documentary spotlights four women founders in agtech in California. The documentary has been screened at SXSW, EcoFarm, Western Growers, the United Nations Association Film Festival. In 2021 Amy was named one of Food Tank’s 15 Leading Women at the Intersection of Food and Technology. In 2020 Amy was named one of Worth magazine’s “50 Women Changing the World.” To read an excerpt and buy the book click here: https://www.amazon.com/Farms-Incubators-Innovators-California-Agtech/dp/161035575X [https://www.amazon.com/Farms-Incubators-Innovators-California-Agtech/dp/161035575X] Screen the short documentary here: https://vimeo.com/267476596/8391abc4b4 [https://vimeo.com/267476596/8391abc4b4]

In this episode of the Women in Food and Agriculture podcast, we speak to Corinne Bonadei, Director of Digital Strategy, Marketing Communication and Marketing & Sales Excellence for Animal Nutrition and Health at DSM. Corinne is someone compelled to make the food and ag industry a more diverse and inclusive place. As a gay mother she has first-hand experience as to why inclusion is so important, and in this podcast she shares her journey of how to create a true culture of inclusion within a business and take it to the next level. We discuss how at DSM they went about driving D&I strategies forward, the work they have done to support the LGBTQ+ community in the workplace, and advice for businesses of all sizes aiming to create an inclusive environment. This story is not one to miss for those who want to be inspired to make a difference within their own organisation and make the world more inclusive place to live.
