This report forms part of a BRIDGE Cutting Edge Pack on Gender and Food Security, which also includes an In Brief. It is the result of a collaborative programme involving a diverse range of practitioners, researchers, activists and policy advisors working on gender and food security issues in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and Latin America. An expert Working Group has been engaged from the outset of the programme in shaping the key messages of the report, participating in face-to-face and online discussions, advising on drafts and providing invaluable inputs drawing on their extensive knowledge and experience. Country-specific activities in Malawi and Ethiopia were also conducted as an integral part of the programme.
