Women actresses of the agroecological transition: feedback on 10 years of projects by SOL and Navdanya in North India
This book co-authored by SOL and Navdanya Navdanya summarizes the results and analyses 10 years of joint actions carried out with Indian women farmers to increase their autonomy and resilience in the face of climatic, health and economic crises. The conclusions show the extent to which women are key players in the agroecological transition.
Women contribute half of the world’s food production but are rarely paid for their work. In India, women represent 55% of the agricultural workforce but only 14% of them own their land.
Through their joint actions, SOL and Navdanya pay particular attention to enhancing the role of women in agriculture and the agroecological transition and defending women’s rights, both locally and internationally.
