This report discusses the importance of investing in women and agriculture and highlights ways that Feed the Future, the U.S. global hunger and food security initiative, builds on best practices and incorporates a rigorous monitoring and evaluation system. To better enable women agricultural producers to reach their full potential, Feed the Future promotes women’s leadership in agriculture, fosters policy changes that increase women’s land ownership and strengthens their access to financial services, encourages female farmers to adopt new agricultural technology aimed at increasing productivity and reducing unpaid work, and invests in improved nutrition outcomes.
