Rural women & the woman farmer are vital to agrifood systems transformation. We need to improve their access to finance, adopt gender-responsive policies, ensure data-driven action, & develop capacities & networks.

In Geneva & now in Copenhagen/Stockholm,
@FAO
's message: it's time to prioritize emergency AGRICULTURE assistance!
50 kg wheat flour= 500 meals
50 kg wheat SEED= 8000 meals/year
Farmers in crisis settings need support to produce. No one wants to depend indefinitely on food aid.
