Women shaping sustainable food systems – Episode 55

Women are the unsung heroes of our world's food systems. They produce up to 80 per cent of all food in developing countries despite being saddled with a disproportionate share of unpaid work, such as childcare and cooking.

To mark International Women's Day, we explore how gender inequality and gender-based violence can be overcome to build inclusive, sustainable food systems. From El Salvador to Malawi, hear about how rural women are driving climate adaptation and transforming agriculture – and the world – for the better.

Our Global Donor Platform for Rural Development mini-series also continues as we interview Sophia Murphy of the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy.
