WIA Awards Program

The Women in Agribusiness Awards Program is the definitive recognition platform for women shaping agriculture. The Demeter Award of Excellence, WIA's highest honor, has recognized the exceptional women who have built the industry across 13 years. The WIA Leadership Awards, making their debut in 2026, are the only independently judged, discipline-specific recognitions in agriculture built for the executives, investors, technologists, and advisors leading the sector's future. Together, they form a complete picture of women's contribution to agriculture — from a career of exceptional achievement to the most consequential work being done right now.
