Mainstreaming UN SDG5 in food security and sustainable agriculture. Empowerment of women is very fundamental! - Judith Irene Nagasha
– I am currently engaged in writing a systematic review publication coordinated by AgriFoSe, Theme 4, Livestock-Keeping among small holders for –nutritious diet and increase food security. The aim of the systematic review is to document the scientific knowledge about different aspects regarding gender and livestock production, says Judith.
More collaborative research networks needed
Judith is hoping this visit will result in more collaborative research networks in gender and livestock.
– The AgriFoSe2030 programme is important because it is aimed at achieving Goal 2 of the UN SDGs. This is key for all researchers, practitioner and change agents for appropriate interventions on food security, says Judith.
