University of Galway is to lead a new research project running across 10 countries in Europe focusing on enhancing the role of women in agriculture, and rural life and affairs.
The Horizon Europe project, FLIARA - Female-Led Innovation in Agriculture and Rural Areas - proposes an innovative approach to improve understanding, awareness, and recognition of women’s role in a more sustainable rural future, as well as developing more effective policy and governance frameworks that can support and enhance the capacity of women who live and work in these areas to contribute to it.
