PIM Webinar

Feminization of Agriculture: Building evidence to debunk myths on current challenges and opportunities (Webinar No. 2)

July 7, 2021

While the term “feminization” of agriculture is used with both positive and negative connotation, the reality is more complex. In order to get a better understanding of what is happening on the ground, research teams from across CGIAR have been working since 2018 to explore the dynamics and impacts of the feminization of agriculture in various cultural and geographic contexts and across different agricultural value chains.
