  • This year will be pivotal for the sustainability of food and agriculture as countries submit their new climate strategies ahead of global talks at the United Nation's COP30 meeting in Belem, Brazil, in November.

The article from Reuters, published on March 25, 2025, discusses the critical link between gender equality and food security in the context of a warming planet. It highlights how climate change exacerbates food insecurity, particularly affecting women who are often at the forefront of food production, yet face numerous barriers due to gender inequality. The piece points out that women, despite being key players in agriculture, have less access to resources like land, credit, and technology, which limits their ability to adapt to climate changes. It calls for integrated approaches that not only address climate resilience but also promote gender equality by ensuring women have equal access to resources, education, and decision-making roles. This dual focus is seen as essential for sustainable development, reducing poverty, and enhancing food security globally. The article also references initiatives and policies aimed at empowering women in agriculture, emphasizing that without gender equality, efforts to combat climate change and ensure food security will fall short.
