Women constitute the majority of farmers and producers yet face a significant number of gender-specific constraints that restrict their productivity. Creative approaches to investing in women will mean maximising productivity across the entire workforce and through the value chain. As part of a series of topic briefs on the New Business Models for Sustainable Trading Relationships (NBMSTR) project, Sourcing Gender: Gender Value Chains for Productivity in Sustainable Sourcing Strategies describes the business opportunities of working with women in agriculture and provides an actionorientated set of recommendations.
