| dc.description | The United Nations General Assembly Declaration of the International Year of Rice in 2004 focused the world's attention on the crop that drives millions of people's livelihood strategies in Asia. Small-scale farmers in Asia and the Pacific grow and consume about four-fifths of the world's rice. But small rice producing farmers face many challenges of economic viability and food security. Subsistence rice farming systems depend on family labour, particularly women's labour. This reality is seldom recognized when developing agricultural support systems to assist farmers. This consultation, held in Bangkok, Thailand from 9 to 12 March 2004, highlighted the importance of women's role in rice livelihood systems. The consultation facilitated multi-sectoral dialogue on rice livelihood systems including the effects of economic realities and technological changes on gender roles and gender constraints. The report summarizes the papers presented by experts from 12 countries in the region and off ers recommendations that are both country and region specific. | |
