Women are more food insecure than men globally and in every region. This paper investigates the global gender gap in food insecurity and its evolution following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The impact of agricultural activities on the environment and its less favorable consequences on resources such as land support and water resources are more harmful in mountainous areas than in the plains since mountain agriculture has specific characteristics: difficult natural environment related to altitude and climate, fragility of natural resources and land resources, the sharp decline in t
VALUE4HER is a continental initiative of the Alliance for Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) aimed at strengthening women’s agribusiness enterprises and enhancing voice and advocacy across Africa.
The objective of this proposed scientific session aims to introduce the Equity Principles for Transformative Innovation (Equity Principles), which have been recently submitted to a Special Collection Supplement in Agricultural Systems.
The agricultural innovation system is an approach that consider agricultural innovation from a global perspective.
Currently there is little evidence on differentiated gender roles and empowerment in value chains in the Latin America region and few comparative analyses on value chains and between value chain nodes.
Climate change poses a significant threat to agri-food systems. However, individuals involved in agriculture, particularly women and marginalized communities, bear a disproportionate burden of the climate’s unpredictability.
Evidence of women’s participation in value chains is greater on the production side, but scanty in downstream nodes, pointing to women being relegated to unprofitable activities. The consequence is suboptimal value chain performance with wide gender gaps in productivity, income, household food security, and poverty.
Strong evidence exists that women farmers have less access to land, inputs, labor, and information compared to men. Over the discourse of empirical research conducted in the domain of agricultural productivity, agricultural economists have always pondered over the inclusion of gender diversity as a separate dimension to identify the efficacy of gender roles in agricultural decision-making.
The agriculture sector plays an important role for food security and national income. However, climate change and business models have challenged the development in agriculture, especially in limitedresource regions like Nusa Tenggara Timur, Indonesia.
The Indian agricultural system is undergoing rapid degradation because of climate-induced shocks and stressors. As a result, there have been endeavors among governments, civil society organizations and researchers to embrace transformative approaches toward the agri-food system.
Land ownership has long been argued to enhance farm productivity by improving tenure security. But does this hold for both female and male owners? Few studies have empirically examined the relationship between gender, landownership, and productivity globally, and even fewer have done so for Asia.
