Engaging and Empowering Women to Strengthen Food Safety

Food Safety Innovation Lab Webinar June 26, 2024
Engaging and Empowering Women to Strengthen Food Safety: Lessons Learned in Bangladesh, Cambodia, and Nigeria
Women can play important roles in preventing foodborne diseases throughout the food system, from agricultural production and food processing to vending and home meal preparation. Understanding gender dynamics in value chains and households can inform more effective food safety practices, policies, and outreach. This webinar will share insights from Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Food Safety projects on engaging and empowering women in aquaculture (Bangladesh), produce production (Cambodia), and household food safety (Nigeria).
