Mookane Farmers Day 2025 to Spotlight Women’s Empowerment and Sustainable Agriculture

Mookane Farmers Day 2025 to Spotlight Women’s Empowerment and Sustainable Agriculture. Botswana’s farming community will converge in Mookane on 14 June 2025 for the 10th annual Mookane Farmers Day, a milestone edition dedicated to advancing women’s economic empowerment and showcasing sustainable agriculture practices.

Themed around women’s freedom in the economic space, this year’s event brings together entrepreneurs, farmers, policymakers, and stakeholders to engage in critical conversations about inclusive growth in the agricultural sector. A key focus will be on policy strategies that empower women and address gender-based violence in rural economies.

For Botswana’s entrepreneurs—particularly those in agribusiness—Mookane Farmers Day offers an important platform to explore evolving opportunities in nature-inclusive and climate-resilient farming. Demonstrations will include methods in climate-smart agriculture, low external input farming, high nature value production, and preservation agriculture. These approaches align with regional efforts to adapt to changing environmental conditions while enhancing productivity.

Participants will benefit from workshops and exhibitions that showcase innovations, tools, and services tailored for smallholder and emerging farmers. The event is also expected to facilitate valuable networking among agripreneurs, service providers, and development partners.

Now in its tenth year, Mookane Farmers Day has evolved into a key event on Botswana’s agricultural calendar—bridging practical farming knowledge with policy dialogue and economic empowerment.

Entrepreneurs in Botswana’s agriculture sector are encouraged to attend and explore scalable solutions that support both environmental resilience and inclusive economic participation.
