The Rural Women’s Assembly is calling on governments worldwide to prioritize policies supporting women smallholder farmers. The organization highlights the crucial, yet often overlooked, role these farmers play in creating sustainable and resilient food systems. This appeal comes amid growing global concerns about food insecurity and the accelerating impacts of climate change. The Assembly argues that investing in women farmers is essential for addressing both challenges simultaneously. They contend that current food and climate policies frequently fail to adequately consider the specific needs and contributions of women in agriculture. By recognizing and supporting these farmers, governments can strengthen food production and build greater resilience to climate shocks, according to the Assembly.
