Dear moderators,
Here is a contribution of Bread for the World – Protestant Development Service in Germany:
Closing of gender gaps in agriculture, achieving food and nutrition security and realizing the right to food for women and girls are issues the CFS should address in the biennium 2016 – 2017. Women need access to and control over agricultural and productive resources as well as equal opportunities than men for political control and decision making. Women have to strengthen the capacities which are necessary to participate at all levels in policy development and decision making regarding agriculture and food and nutrition security in order to abolish gender discrimination in the agriculture and nutrition sector.
