Corteva Agriscience, a global agriculture leader, is launching a comprehensive programme to support two million women across India’s agri-value chain by 2030. By providing targeted support, tools, and resources, it aims to enable women as farmers, researchers, and entrepreneurs. The initiative promotes equitable access to resources and decision-making roles, enhancing productivity improvement techniques, and enhancing food security. This programme goes beyond traditional corporate responsibility, driving a movement that integrates gender parity, sustainable development, and economic growth.
Subroto Geed, president South Asia, Corteva Agriscience, said, “Women are the backbone of rural life and agriculture. Corteva is committed to improving their incomes and lives through access to better farming methods, education, and sustainable farming practices. We hope this focus will accelerate India’s path to becoming a developed nation. Proud to embrace this social responsibility, taking a step toward a Viksit Bharat.”
Anuja Kadian, Government & Industry Affairs director (Asia Pacific), Corteva Agriscience, said, “Our 2 million initiative links gender equality, economic growth, and environmental sustainability. By equipping women with tools, knowledge, and resources, Corteva is paving the way for women to lead in sustainable development, supporting India's goals of economic empowerment, food security, and sustainability.”
