Women Farmers Feed the World
In West Africa, women's resistance to the new Green Revolution shows that the question of agricultural sustainability is also a question of equality.
"On that land, it's the head of household—the man—who manages it." There can't really be quality, then?
Fatou Batta: First of all, it's a question of rights. Women are key in producing food. They are working on the farm, they're producing through labor, and when it comes to using food, they are the last ones to be able to eat it. It's important to make sure those who contribute to producing the food also have access to eat equitably. In the family, usually males have the right to eat first. I think it's unfair. It's discrimination. So if we're talking about the right to food, we have to be looking at the gender imbalance.
Are the men eating alone? Or are they eating with other men in the family? I have read about the division of meals between the sexes in other cultures, with the males of the family or community eating first and separately from the females.
