Although women are commonly seen as cooks and homemakers, how can they grow to be seen as changemakers, and put themselves at the forefront of the food and farming industry? Gender-specific obstacles such as lack of access to land, finance, agricultural training, suitable working conditions and equal treatment often put women on the back foot before they ever plough a field, put on chef's whites, or think about setting up viable food businesses. Yet women are doing amazing things in food policy, nutrition, farming, founding food businesses, and sustainability. While the world is focusing on the contribution of women for International Women's Day on the 8th March and its theme of #EachForEqual, what can we do to help make the food and farming industry more equal for the whole year?
