“Putting resources in the hands of women is a no-brainer and with this comes the transfer of knowledge and skills including digital literacy to help these women realize their full potential.

Evidence on the gender gap indicates that globally 69 percent of men are using the internet compared with 63 percent of women.

The report “The Status of Women in Agrifood Systems”, the first of its kind since 2010, goes beyond agriculture to provide a comprehensive picture of the status of women working across agrifood systems— from production to distribution and consumption.
The report highlights that, globally, the role of women tends to be... | Climate Change | Vulnerable women displaced as a result of natural disasters | Antigua and Barbuda | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/1694570749171.pdf | https://ab.gov.ag/pdf/Women_in_Agrifood_Systems.pdf |

Indeed, the study explains that closing the gender gap in farm productivity and the wage gap in agricultural employment would increase global gross domestic product by nearly $1 trillion and reduce the number of food-insecure people by 45 million.

The authors explain that if half of small-scale producers benefited from development interventions that focused on empowering women, it would significantly raise the incomes of an additional 58 million people and increase the resilience of an additional 235 million.

Globally, the gap between men and women in the prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity increased to 4.3 percentage points in 2021 from 1.7 percentage points in 2019, largely driven by growing differences in Latin America and the Caribbean, where the gap reached 11.3 percentage points.

For example, they represent 54% of the agrifood system workforce in Bolivia.

Recommendation Overall, the report concludes that reducing gender inequalities in livelihoods, improving access to resources, and promoting resilience is a critical pathway towards gender equality, women’s empowerment and more just and sustainable agrifood systems.
