    Description
    Women's role in food production and agribusiness in developing countries is assuming greater importance due to economic crisis, armed conflict, natural disaster, and diseases including AIDS. Global market forces marginalise many small producers, and exert pressure on governments to accept new technologies such as genetically modified crops. Articles in this collection assert that women's contribution to global agricultural production for food and for profit remains largely unacknowledged and undervalued, and that their ability to farm is constrained by lack of control over land, agricultural inputs, and credit. Until gender equality becomes a reality, global food security and sustainable development cannot be achieved. Writers include Ann Whitehead, Shoba Arun, and Cecilia Sardenberg, Ana Alice Costa and Elizete Passos.

    Export search results

    The export button (to the right?) will allow you to export the search results of the entered query to a CSV file. To export the items, click the "Export" button.

    There are two options to select the items you want to export to a CSV. Either you export all results from a search query, or you select a subset of items from the search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" in the Export menu.

    After making a selection, click the 'CSV' button. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to 'CSV'.

    The amount of items you can export is limited, but authenticating will increase this limit.
