Sonia Paiva highlights neglect of women’s role in Azerbaijan’s agriculture

Sonia Paiva, Founder and Executive Director Woman Farmer Foundation, pointed out the insufficient attention given to women’s involvement in Azerbaijan’s agricultural sector, Report informs.

Speaking on the third day of Baku Climate Action Week, Paiva stressed the importance of addressing key issues like job creation, climate change, and water resources, which are all closely tied to agriculture.
