Welcome!
Global policy initiatives face difficult challenges when they don't consider gender roles and relations in governance of food, land and agriculture. My work illustrates how to incorporate gendered power relations and social relations in our understandings of global environmental governance and policy, especially around food security, agriculture, and land. In doing so, we can improve policy-making and have more equitable outcomes.
