WOMEN & MEN
IN AGRICULTURE - CLOSING THE GAP - VIDEO
Across countries and contexts: women have consistently less access than men to agricultural assets, inputs and services and to rural employment opportunities. Increasing women’s access to land, livestock, education, financial services, extension, technology and rural employment would boost their productivity and generate gains in agricultural output, food security, economic growth and social welfare. Closing the gender gap is not only the right thing to do. It is crucial for agricultural development and food security.
