President Droupadi Murmu on Monday will inaugurate a four-day global conference that will deliberate on gender inequality in agri-food systems.
The international conference ‘From research to impact: just and resilient agri-food systems’, to be held in the national capital, is organised jointly by Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers (CGIAR) Gender Impact Platform and Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).
Briefing the media, Director of CGIAR Gender Impact Nicoline de Haan said: “Globally, gender inequality in agri-food systems remains a very significant challenge and current inequalities are being made worse by crises such as Covid-19 and climate change.” Overall, women are often less food secure than men, and they are hit harder by external shocks, such as floods and droughts, she said.
