Quisumbing, Agnes R.; Meinzen-Dick, Ruth; Raney, Terri L.; Croppenstedt, André; Behrman, Julia A.; Peterman, Amber

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) produced a 2011 report on women in agriculture with a clear and urgent message: agriculture underperforms because half of all farmers—women—lack equal access to the resources and opportunities they need to be more productive. This book builds on the report’s conclusions by providing, for a non-specialist audience, a compendium of what we know now about gender gaps in agriculture.
