dc.description.abstractThree out of every four poor people in developing countries live in rural areas, and most of them depend directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. In many parts of the world, women are the main farmers or producers, but their roles remain largely unrecognized. The 2008 World development report: agriculture for development highlights the vital role of agriculture in sustainable development and its importance in achieving the millennium development goal of halving by 2015 the share of people suffering from extreme poverty and hunger. Climate change and rising food prices are reminders of the need to focus on food security and agriculture for development; and the material presented in the gender in agriculture sourcebook suggests that accounting for the different roles of women and men and gender equality in access to resources and opportunities is a necessary condition for doing so. This sourcebook is a particularly timely resource. It combines descriptive accounts of national and international experience in investing in agriculture with practical operational guidance on to how to design agriculture for development strategies that capitalize effectively on the unique properties of agricultural growth and rural development involving women and men as a high-impact source of poverty reduction. It looks at gender equality and women's empowerment, and the associated principles have the potential to make a difference in the lives of hundreds of millions of rural poor.en
dc.description.abstractEl cambio climático y el aumento de los precios de los alimentos son recordatorios de la necesidad de enfocarnos en la seguridad alimentaria y la agricultura para el desarrollo, y el material que se presenta en el Manual sobre Género en Agricultura sugiere que para ello es necesario reconocer los diferentes roles que desempeñan mujeres y hombres, y la igualdad de género en el acceso a los recursos y oportunidades para poder lograrlo. Las desigualdades de género limitan la productividad agrícola y su eficiencia y al hacerlo, minan las agendas de desarrollo. Este Manual es un recurso particularmente que combina relatos descriptivos de las experiencias nacionales e internacionales en las inversiones agrícolas, con directrices operativas prácticas sobre cómo diseñar estrategias agrícolas para el desarrollo que capitalicen de manera efectiva las propiedades únicas del crecimiento agrario y el desarrollo rural, con la participación de hombres y mujeres como un recurso de alto impacto para la reducción de la pobreza. Analiza la igualdad de género y el empoderamiento de las mujeres, y los principios asociados a estos tienen el potencial de marcar una diferencia en las vidas de cientos de millones de personas rurales en condiciones de pobreza.es
