Abstract
Most of the world’s expected population increase will
be in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Growing more
food in these regions is imperative, and smallholder
farmers are critical to this effort. Women are the
core of the agriculture workforce, and their improved
productivity is key to this increase. Women are also
responsible for feeding their families; feeding growing
populations is impossible without significant emphasis
on and support for the roles of women and girls.
