Women in Agriculture: Campo Grande will
host the 4th National Meeting of Women in Agribusiness in Campo Grande-MS
The 4th National Meeting
of Women in Agribusiness will take place in Campo Grande (MS) on August 8th and
9th. The event will be held in a hybrid format, with participants able to
participate either online or in person in the city of Campo Grande (MS), at the
Glauce Rocha Theater (UFMS). Organized by the “Luiz de Queiroz” Study Group
(GELQ), and led by undergraduate students from the “Luiz de Queiroz” School of
Agriculture (ESALQ), and supervised by Professor Durval Dourado Neto.
The event will begin with
a management-focused agenda, presenting a vision of continuous improvement
within agribusiness, along with the Lean Method. After this agenda, there will
be the presentation and official launch of the network of angel investors in
agribusiness, which will be presented by speakers Aline Catiusce and Mayra
Motta.
Also important topics,
during the morning of the first day, the event will address topics such as
people management and its impact on organizational culture, in addition to the
influence of women in the workplace. In the afternoon, the event will begin
with a topic focused on entrepreneurship, innovation and technology within
agribusiness, in addition to the role of women in corporate agribusiness. To
end the day, there will be a topic on the hidden importance of networking and
collective work, and finally, a round table to discuss the topics discussed
during the day. On the second day of the program, topics such as ESG, female
leadership, inclusion and diversity will be addressed. The event was designed
to provide women who are involved in the sector, or who intend to do so, with a
space to exchange experiences and generate a network of contacts with the aim
of fostering female participation within the sector, showing how far it is
possible to go, and tools for personal development. This will be the first time
that the event will be held in person, and to make this possible, the event
will have sponsoring companies, with the diamond sponsor being Bracell, which
is one of the leaders in the production of dissolving pulp, including special
dissolving pulp; and the gold sponsors being Bayer, Raízen and EY Brazil.
The IV National Meeting
of Women in Agribusiness stands out as an essential platform for promoting the
exchange of experiences, strengthening contact networks and sharing knowledge
among women working in the agricultural sector.
This event is more than
just a meeting; it is a celebration of the vital role that women play in a
traditionally male field, in addition to being a unique opportunity for networking
and companionship.
The importance of
formatting and holding meetings like this lies in their ability to empower
participants, allowing them to share their stories, challenges and
achievements. By bringing together professionals from different areas of
agribusiness, the meeting creates an environment conducive to building
partnerships, exchanging innovative ideas and solutions to common problems
faced by women in the sector.
Furthermore, the 4th
National Meeting of Women in Agribusiness highlights the need for greater
female representation in decision-making and leadership of initiatives that
directly impact agricultural production and sustainability. By giving
visibility to the success stories and experiences of women who stand out in
this field, the event helps to break down stereotypes and inspire the next
generation of leaders in agribusiness.
With a rich and diverse
program, the meeting promises to address fundamental topics, such as innovative
technologies, sustainability issues, market challenges and the importance of
mental health and well-being of rural workers. The lectures, workshops and
round tables will provide a space for learning and reflection that can be
applied in the daily lives of participants.
In short, the 4th
National Meeting of Women in Agribusiness in Campo Grande (MS) will be an
important milestone for strengthening the female presence in the agricultural
sector. It is an invaluable opportunity for women to come together, share
experiences and strengthen each other, thus contributing to a more inclusive
and sustainable agribusiness. Promoting these initiatives is crucial to
ensuring that women's voices are increasingly heard and respected in all
spheres of agriculture.
