      I am impressed by the completeness of the guidelines, actually I just wanted to congratulate you with this elaborated work. I think more or less everything is covered, anyway, I was thinking about a few extra words to empower the discussion. I have put three suggestions for the text, mentioned in bold italics.

      3.4 Women’s economic empowerment in the context of sustainable food systems, 

      (in the  82. Policy areas for discussion): i. Promotion of legal rights that support women’s ownership, access to and control over natural and productive resources, as well as their access to services, loans and subsidies, and knowledge to capitalize on them.

      3.6 Access to labour markets and decent work  

      (102...) Agriculture is one of the most hazardous occupations given exposure to agrochemicals, machines and equipment and livestock care, and women often lack access to social protection systems and to information and training that would enable them to protect themselves. (To be added in the: 106. Policy areas for discussion, iii. Policy interventions: To know the gender disaggregated impact of agrochemicals on reproductive health of men and women before allowing exposure to (one or more of) it and before application for food production. 

      3.8 Women and men’s ability to make strategic choices for healthy diets and good nutrition

      (115 ...) Therefore, policies, gender specific research on nutrition, and inter-sectoral interventions to support women’s and girls’ specific nutritional needs are of critical importance.
