AWARE
What is it?
The project will assess and study the needs of women living in rural areas, who are willing to start up farming and forest activities. The main objective of the project is to support the growth of women entrepreneurs in the Agri-Food sector across Europe. This will contribute to achieving social inclusion for this group and closing the gender gap in agri-food entrepreneurship.
How will we achieve our goals?
- Curriculum for an online training course “Start your own Food Business” designed specifically for women in the Agri-Food sector
- Module content for the training course
- Research report on the importance and benefits of engaging with a business mentor
- Video of testimonials from Mentors/Mentees in Agri-Food businesses across partner countries
- Infographic booklet of supports and resources for women entrepreneurs in Europe’s Agri-Food sector
Why is it important?
The overall result of this project will be to equip women entrepreneurs in the Agri-Food sector with the knowledge, skills and confidence to foster their business concepts right through to fruition by providing access to specific training and outlining the importance of engaging with a business mentor(s).
