This year, the UN Food Systems Summit calls for “bold actions to transform the way the world produces and consumes food” to advance the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Gender equality is a precondition to achieving these goals and generating sustainable and resilient agricultural and food systems.
Join us as we explore progress in research that helps understand and advance positive synergies among resilient agricultural, rural and food systems, and equality in societies globally.
