Women & youths are crucial in agriculture, especially in the promotion of digital services & commercialization of research products. Therefore, we're playing an active role in gender mainstreaming in agriculture towards achieving the SDG, says @Akinbamijo1 director @FARAinfo.
Women are the backbone of African agriculture, doing most of the work to produce, process, and market our food. But women in agriculture are largely underrepresented & under-resourced. @FARAinfo hopes to change this through strategic gender mainstreaming in Africa. #FARAgender
Agricultural value chains begin at research. Scientists & researchers must be encouraged to develop gender-responsive innovations in agriculture, notes @wanjirukr, director @AWARDFellowship. #FARAgender #Agspirations
We must apply a gender lens in all that we do towards strengthening our food systems in Africa, keynotes @jemimah_njuki, director for Africa @IFPRI. #FARAgender #GenderinAg #Agspriations
