Realizing Women's Potential in Agri-Food Systems by Vemireddy, Vidya, Puskur, Ranjitha

“…Finally, the stakeholders deliberated on the idea of creating a coalition/group to integrate evidence and data across academia, civil society and the private sector and generate research and policy traction to realize women’s potential in agri-food systems in a systematic manner. Following this dialogue, the suggested three-point action plan includes; ● Mapping the contributions and recognition of women’s vital roles in the agricultural value chain, from production to marketing. ● Defining the institutional contours of a coalition/group for women in agri-food systems including objectives, core members, membership tenets, etc. ● Creation of a portal to compile good practices, evidence, and learnings from what has worked and what has not to facilitate development of strategies for scaling across contexts.…”
