In developing countries, the main source of employment is agriculture for 50% – 90% of the population. Women alone make up 43% of the world’s agricultural workforce and up to 50% in sub-Saharan Africa. #righttofood#righttoland#zerohunger#womensrights

"We need urgency and deeper commitment to taking action on global hunger. More than 821 million people are not getting enough food to eat – does that figure have to reach one billion again before our governments act?" @a_campolina speaks at world #foodsecurity plenary @UN_CFS
#WorldFoodDay@ActionAidNG believes agroecology is the answer to ending global hunger because it empowers women living in rural areas while ensuring access to adequate food, reducing in poverty, creating employment opportunities & addressing climate change.

Women have for a long time been excluded from decision-making, their traditional and indigenous knowledge is overlooked, and they are more vulnerable to land grabs. @ActionAidNG believes the solution to ending world hunger is empowering rural women.
