October 15 marks International Day of Rural Women, a time to celebrate the vital role of women in rural communities. At Syngenta, we believe that rural women are the key to sustainable agriculture and we are passionate about expanding opportunities for them.

We launched our Scholarship Program earlier this year, in partnership with the Asian University for Women. The program empowers women from rural farming communities in India and Bangladesh to achieve higher education. Five female students from smallholder farming communities were selected to receive a five-year education scholarship, funded by Syngenta. During a recent visit to Bangladesh, @Pamela González, Head of Asia Group countries at Syngenta, and @Jenny Barks-Taylor, Head Regional Production & Supply, Asia Pacific at Syngenta, met up with the recipients to find out how they were doing.

The scholarships have given these women the chance to get a quality education and build a better future for themselves and their families. We are so proud of them and can't wait to see them thrive!
