On March 8, hundreds of communities are coming together to celebrate International Women's Day to address the role of women in global agriculture, food justice, and building stronger communities. Around the world, women face issues of food access and food justice. In some of the poorest regions, it is the women who are struggling to grow enough food to feed their families, and are dealing with challenges like competition for land and water, rising food prices, and impacts of climate change on agriculture.
In Philadelphia, it's mostly women who face issues like gaining access to healthy foods in so called "food deserts," and decreased income due to the recent economic downturn. We will discuss current challenges that we face in terms of achieving improved livelihoods for women both globally and locally, as well as best strategies and promising practices to empower women and make their voices heard.
