Release of the FAO State of Food and Agriculture Report 2010-11
About the Event
Join us for FAO’s presentation of its new State of Food and Agriculture Report 2010-2011, "Women in Agriculture: Closing the gender gap for development." This USAID event will be moderated by Caren Grown, Senior USAID Gender Advisor with remarks from Greg Gottlieb, Deputy Assistant Administrator of the USAID Bureau for Food Security.
The FAO report makes a strong “business case” for addressing gender issues in agriculture and rural employment. Women make significant contributions to the rural economy of all developing country regions. Their roles vary widely by country and context, yet one finding is strikingly consistent: women in all regions face gender-related constraints that reduce their productivity and impose real costs on society.
