Raising The Village’s Post

A crucial component of the #SUNCASA project is to ensure #women, girls, and other underrepresented communities effectively participate in #ClimateChange #adaptation and #NbS policy-making processes. In order to achieve this, we’ll bring together men, sons, fathers, and decision-makers to discuss and better understand structural and cultural gender barriers. #ChallengingNorms #CreatingOpportunities #BuildingBridges

How do we integrate the local and regional contexts into the broader processes and practices that drive food systems transformation with a systemic approach? While many agricultural challenges are shared globally, when it comes to exchanging lessons learned and solutions, the valuable perspectives from farmers, producers, governments, local scientists, development practitioners, and regional communities are often missing. That's why the Food & Agricultural Commodity Systems Community gathers more than 500 members from 34 producing countries working on 12 agricultural commodities in a space to share, shape and learn the progressive practices and innovative solutions that will transform food and agricultural commodity systems. These practices include: 🔹 Effective Communications 🔹 Systems Leadership 🔹 Working with Power 🔹 Inclusion, Empowerment and Gender Equality Learn more and join the community to be part of the change: https://lnkd.in/ecKVvNBw #FoodSystemsTransformation

The annual report 2022 of CIFOR-ICRAF tell us about the importance of working for social inclusion for protecting forests

Gender inequality in agriculture remains a significant challenge, with women often facing limited access to resources, land ownership, and opportunities for education and training. By closing the gender gap and promoting gender-inclusive policies and initiatives, we can unlock the full potential of women as key contributors to agricultural productivity, resilience, and innovation. As leaders and advocates, let's champion gender equality in agriculture and support initiatives that empower women farmers and rural entrepreneurs. Together, we can create more equitable and sustainable food systems for future generations. #Agriculture #FoodSecurity #GenderEquality #WomenInAgriculture
