Achieving gender equality and empowering women in agriculture is not only the right thing to do. It is also crucial for agricultural development and food security, as strongly stated by FAO’s latest SOFA report on Women in Agriculture.
To identify practical measures that work in closing the gender gap, the Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition invites everyone interested to join its new online discussion, “Women in agriculture and food security: How can we turn rhetoric into reality?”, and share their views and experiences on policies, programmes and projects that have unleashed rural women’s potential for agriculture, enhancing this livelihood and food security and contributing to their empowerment.
Join Jennie Dey de Pryck, the facilitator, in looking at practical experiences and lessons learnt, to see what could be scaled up or replicated in the same or other countries.
The full topic is available on the Forum’s webpage.
