From Farm to Factory: Investing in Yemen’s Food Value Chains for Sustainable Food Security

In rural communities, Yemeni women play a pivotal role in maintaining food security to help prevent hunger and malnutrition. Women build food resilience through their land management and by learning how best to use fertilisers and pesticides to tend their crops – all helping to ensure their families and communities have enough food to eat. Communities also rely on women to tend livestock and to produce meat, milk, ghee, eggs, and honey – contributing to reduced poverty and creating job opportunities.
