As we explore the elements of the new GROW campaign, we’re asking, where are the women?
Women who struggle daily to grow, process, sell, and cook food for their families are painfully aware that the current food system is failing millions of people. Women play a key role in feeding the world, but often it is them that are ignored and left short changed.
Much of the food on our tables has been produced or processed by women. Like the army of agricultural labourers who grow fresh fruit in Kenyan farms, French beans for export in Senegal, or who form the majority of poultry workers in Brazil. Women also make up two thirds of the livestock keepers throughout the world. Despite the long hours and hard work involved, many of these women still live in poverty.
