Are we going wrong – veiled flaws in agricultural sector (Pakistan Observer)

March 06, 2021


Pakistan Observer published an article on gender. Attaining gender equality has now been placed on the top-most pedestal of global priorities. Yet the agricultural sector, the backbone of the country, has perhaps one of the worst scenarios of gender disparity in the world? These issues include recognition, income, access to machinery, training, investing, and land ownership. IFPRI stated that these inequalities are one of the largest factors kindling a slowing economy alongside hindering progress towards fulfilling United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 2 (UN SDG 2), “end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture” by 2030.
