This observance highlights the vital role women play across California agriculture. Women farmers are leaders, innovators, and stewards of the land who strengthen rural communities and help sustain the state\u2019s food system. With more than 45,000 women producers stewarding over 11 million acres of farmland in California, 2026 is an opportunity to celebrate their achievements, share their stories, and inspire the next generation shaping the future of agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov%2Fwordpress%2Findex.php%2F2026%2F01%2F07%2F2026-is-the-international-year-of-the-woman-farmer%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7CArtemio.Armenta%40cdfa.ca.gov%7C0073f3a282344b16ee1908de8c3a3ea7%7Cafdfd251a22248978cbaae68cabfffbc%7C0%7C0%7C639102378942258433%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=F7Z%2BZQMv202B77OlMZPTPYoG8s335FWLSEFaTKbBZ30%3D&amp;reserved=0\">International Year of the Woman Farmer<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fplantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov%2Fwordpress%2Findex.php%2F2026%2F03%2F23%2Ffarmer-isabel-rosas-garcia-growing-produce-and-community-in-the-salinas-valley%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7CArtemio.Armenta%40cdfa.ca.gov%7C0073f3a282344b16ee1908de8c3a3ea7%7Cafdfd251a22248978cbaae68cabfffbc%7C0%7C0%7C639102378942278719%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=z7kCS7ef0yuRJMbKS7pCn36%2FRAW%2BsJSldApImlJSbyQ%3D&amp;reserved=0\">Farmer Isabel Rosas Garcia: growing produce and community in the Salinas Valley<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/plantingseedsblog.cdfa.ca.gov\/wordpress\/index.php\/2026\/03\/26\/women-farmers-shaping-the-future-luciana-jonkmans-story\/\">Women Farmers Shaping the Future: Luciana Jonkman\u2019s Story&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdfa.ca.gov%2Ffarmerresources%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7CArtemio.Armenta%40cdfa.ca.gov%7C0073f3a282344b16ee1908de8c3a3ea7%7Cafdfd251a22248978cbaae68cabfffbc%7C0%7C0%7C639102378942296475%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=uro2m49LczqdIWwU5SJM2vaHa02r4tl%2FuL8wpxR6zR4%3D&amp;reserved=0\">CDFA Farmer Resource Portal<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Women\u2019s History Month draws to a close, we\u2019re excited to share a special conversation between CDFA Secretary Ross and Shannon Douglass, president of the California Farm Bureau.
