Use the gender lens to capture interesting photos with stories and help us do science with a creative twist. We make a maximum impact when we communicate about our work – success and/or failure – to a wider audience using a range of communication and social media. We believe that photos break the global language barriers, and connect people, whether they are farmers, middle-class urban families, public enterprises, donors or students.

KEY THEMATIC AREAS
• Through this International Photo Competition 2014 on the ‘Forest-Agriculture Interface through a Gender Lens’ we aim to publish a photo book (Editor Purabi Bose).
• The photo book will reproduce the selected photos with the titles and background stories about the successes and failures of integrating gender equity in forests, agroforestry and the small farms anywhere in the world.
Photos can be submitted within the three key thematic areas with gender as a cross-cutting issue
1. Forests including drylands and marginal people;
2. Agroforestry in vulnerable landscapes; and
3. Non-timber forest products, smallholder agriculture produces influencing the local markets.
