Resumen
Descripción
In many developing countries, female farmers comprise up to half or more of the
agricultural workforce. However, their lack of access to key agricultural development
technologies and information not only undermines their ability to make a living, it also
hurts the entire agricultural sector and its ability to adapt to and mitigate climate change.
A better understanding of the realities of gender inequality in the agricultural sector will
provide greater opportunities to produce responses to climate change and food security
challenges that benefit men and women farmers more equally.
