Virtual event, 04/12/2022 - 04/12/2022
To maintain the momentum generated by the UN Food Systems Summit last year, the Issue-Based Coalition (IBC) on Sustainable Food Systems launches the third Food Systems Talk, as an opportunity to increase awareness on the special angle on the role of women and girls in reaching sustainable, resilient and inclusive food systems.
Inspired by the actions around the International Day of Rural Women (15 October), the third Food System Talk “Rural women and girls in sustainable, resilient and inclusive food systems” aims at raising awareness on the key role women and girls, particularly those living in rural areas, in achieving and contributing towards a food systems transformation.
The Third Food Systems Talk is featuring a 30 minute-interview led by Alia El-Yassir, UN Women Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia and Co-Chair of the IBC-GE,with the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Republic of Albania,Frida Krifca, to shed a light on key policies and interventions for increasing women’s access and rights to resources, services and opportunities and eliminating barriers, particularly for rural women and girls. The Talk also explores the main food systems priorities of the current multiple crises and will showcase innovative and profitable solutions for advancing women’s empowerment in food systems.
The Talk is complemented by an inspiring videoclip with Natalia Efros, a wine producing entrepreneur from the Republic of Moldova, to discover her story as entrepreneur, the key challenges but also opportunities.
