BBC Africa – In the collective consciousness, certain trades are traditionally male, therefore they are “prohibited” to women. Only, the young Claudia Senghor, Senegalese by nationality, was able to break this taboo. It has made its way into agriculture and is involved in almost the entire value chain.
For a long time, certain professions have been described as “masculine”. The female sex is then excluded.
However, in recent years, there has been a reversal of the situation.
Sectors such as construction, the oil and gas industry, mechanics or aviation are welcoming more and more women.
In Senegal, for example, it was rare or even non-existent to see a “modern and urban” woman embarking on agriculture.
Today, young senior executives, with a rich academic and professional career, are converting into “agribusiness Woman”.
Claudia Senghor is the perfect illustration of this.
“The profession of farmer is not a rewarding profession in our societies. We tend to put forward those who work in companies, executives, bankers, financiers among others…”
“Those who work in the agricultural sector are often left behind. We do not highlight their activity. »

A trained agroeconomist, agricultural consultant and creator of agribusiness content on social networks, Claudia spreads her know-how through her banner called Agrobabe.
“I worked for 3 years in an agricultural consulting firm in Montreal after obtaining my degree in agroeconomics. This is what allowed me to acquire a great deal of experience in agricultural planning. My passion for agriculture comes from there. »

The name Claudia chose for her “Agrobabe” banner is far from accidental. For her, you can be beautiful, elegant, refined, trendy and work in the agricultural sector. One does not prevent the other.
The proof, when she is on the ground, Claudia is in relaxed mode with a touch of “swag and fashion”: brand sports shoes and cap, trendy sunglasses all matched with a casual but “In” outfit.
