McEntee tells global conference of need for gender equality in farming
The world will be in a stronger position to cope with global risks relating to food security and nutrition if women are encouraged to play a more central role in farming production, Mr McEntee told ministers from across the globe. His views were particularly directed at the role of women in developing countries.
He said: “If we fail to address the obstacles faced by women farmers than we are failing to deliver food security — it is as simple as that.”
