In the face of the global challenges of food insecurity, poverty and climate change, gender equality is non-negotiable

If agricultural development efforts are to effectively contribute to reducing poverty and food insecurity and help families adapt to the effects of climate change, agricultural researchers and practitioners must rethink how they integrate gender within their work. This was the consensus among participants at a recent workshop WorldFish hosted to discuss new approaches to gender integration in agriculture. But, why is change necessary?

The last 40 years have seen tremendous progress in getting gender on the development agenda, and these successes are to be applauded. However, getting gender on the agenda has not been enough to achieve the improvements in women’s life choices and development outcomes that we all desire.
