Women play key roles on the front line of food systems, and their engagement is vital to overcoming global threats and achieving food and nutrition security for all.
While both men and women play critical roles in rice value chains, from production through to consumption, it is the role of women in these activities that is often understated, unrecognized and undervalued.
We can take deliberate steps to develop inclusive and gender-responsive rice-based food systems, whether it’s through equitable access to technologies, advisory services, finance, or digital innovations.
Watch the GLF Live in cooperation with FOLUR to learn more about these challenges and the opportunities they pose.
