Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum)

In recent years, women have been more involved in agricultural production in rural China and played more and more important role in income generating for household. Women are generally responsible for the food preparation for the household, and if they have an income, they are more likely to help the household to improve the status of food security. In addition,  more typical examples show that women have participated in value chain to improve their livelihood, therefore, it is necessary to find a way to encourage women to take on new roles in value chain, which can help them to capture more revenues.
