Food and Agriculture29State of Foodand Agriculture 2010–11Women in Agriculture - Closing thegender gap for developmentFood and Agriculture OrganizationWomen make significant contributions tothe rural economy in all developing countryregions.

No blueprint exists for closingthe gender gap, but some basic principles are universal: governments, theinternational community and civil society should work together to eliminatediscrimination under the law, to promote equal access to resourcesand opportunities, to ensure that agricultural policies and programs aregender-aware, and to make women’s voices heard as equal partners forsustainable development.March 2011. 158p.
