Eat less meat (and more plants) - Women promoting sustainable food systems [Daily Challenge 3]

Eating less meat and more plants

I show a strong commitment to gender equality and women empowerment to ensure inclusive growth and sustainable development.

Choosing more plant foods over animal foods may save you money, help the environment, and boost your health.

Women are playing a pivotal role in a more sustainable future for Africa's rural communities. As the world’s population continues to grow, the need for more and better quality food will be imperative, especially considering the various health and environmental challenges around the globe.

Gender disparities are also a lived reality at the level of cash crops production. For example, women remain in subsistence agriculture, receive low prices for their products due to lack of market information, lack capacity to participate in agri-business and are employed in lowly paid positions in secondary agriculture.
