Gender equality is central to FAO’s mandate to achieve food security for all by raising levels of nutrition, improving agricultural productivity and natural resource management, and improving the lives of rural populations.

Gender equality is not only an essential means by which FAO can achieve its mandate, it is also a basic human right.
