Women’s labor in the family business is often unpaid and therefore unrecognized, and that’s also an obstacle to her access to her own social security benefits and working security. Even when she’s titular owner, women have limited access to ownership and therefore to the decision’s making process. There is also discrimination against rural women, based on obstinate stereotypes and prejudices.
The priorities regarding rural policies for the immediate future are: 1) Promoting transfer of knowledge and innovation in rural sector, forestry and rural areas, 2) Strengthening competitiveness of all types of agriculture and of the viability of rural enterprises 3) Promoting the organization of food chain and of risk management in agriculture 4) Restoration, preservation and strengthening of all ecosystems dependable on agriculture and forestry 5) Promoting resources’ capacity and supporting the tendencies for an economy of low carbon emissions, durable to the climate changes in the sectors of agriculture, food chain and forestry.
