Women and their knowledge,values, vision and leadership are critical for moving forward. Migration and globalization mean that women’s work is increasing, yet women have far less access to resources than men. All to often, their work is neither recognized nor valued. For agroecology to achieve its full potential, there must be equal distribution of power, tasks, decision-making and remuneration. (Nyéléni Declaration, 2015)
Women and their knowledge, values, vision and leadership play a central role in Agroecology.
