About the Report
The Report on the Status of Women in Agrifood Systems provides critical data, lessons learned, and recommendations for governments, businesses, and civil society in developing effective and cost-efficient policies and programs to support women in agrifood systems.

Agrifood systems are a major employer of women globally and are generally a more important source of livelihood for women than men. Empowering women and closing the gender gap in agrifood systems will lead to systematic benefits not just for women, but for society as a whole - reducing hunger, increasing incomes, and strengthening the resilience of rural communities.
