Gender and Food Security: Towards Gender-Just Food and Nutrition Security
Published By: Institute of Development Studies | Published Date: January, 01 , 2014This BRIDGE Cutting Edge Overview Report makes the case for a new, gender-aware understanding of food security, arguing that partial, apolitical and gender-blind diagnoses of the problem of food and nutrition insecurity is leading to insufficient policy responses and the failure to realise the right to food for all people.
