Women across the world are changing its future. For International Women’s Day 2020, the Global Landscapes Forum chose 16 who have devoted their lives to restoring the Earth’s landscapes, through disrupting the realms of finance, entrepreneurship, activism, Indigenous rights, science, popular culture and global leadership.

Meet them here

Coronavirus: vital supplies flying off store shelves, planes grounded and conferences canceled. When the climate crisis has the same effect on our food supply, we need to be prepared.

Experience the future, join the summit from wherever you are and help forge the way for sustainable food systems and landscapes.
