How gender equality can transform food systems and protect us from climate change disasters

Abstract

Enabling women to be equal partners with men in the development and use of agricultural technologies and land and water resources, in household production and consumption decisions, and in the formulation of policies and institutions, is essential to successfully transform our food systems and create climate resilience for all. However, gender inequalities remain deeply ingrained throughout these domains. This online news article introduces discussion on gender equality in agriculture in the face of climate change, and links to more detailed work by CGIAR and other organizations.
