Forests, food security and gender: linkages, disparities and priorities for action
Women tend to play specific roles in forestry and agroforestry value chains. These are important for their incomes, and in turn for the well-being and food security of their households. However, women’s roles in forestry value chains are generally poorly supported by policy-makers and service providers. The persistent lack of gender-disaggregated data further compounds this problem. Empowering women in the forest sector can create significant development opportunities for them and generate important spill-over benefits for their households and communities. Efforts to enhance women’s participation in forest-related institutions should be strengthened because women can help to maximize synergies between the forest sector and food security for the benefit of all
