Kellogg committed to empowering women, farmers

KELLOGG Company has sponsored five quinoa growers and one agronomist from the Andean region to attend the International Quinoa Research Symposium in the U.S. state of Washington. There, the native farmers learned about best practices to increase their yields and served as a voice for indigenous growers.

Sponsoring the group also reinforces the company’s recent commitment to the Women's Empowerment Principles (WEP), a U.N. Women and U.N. Global Compact collaboration. In addition, Kellogg is assisting women and smallholder farmers in other regions around the world with resources and education to help improve their livelihoods and the families they support.
