Ensuring food security is at the heart of what rural women do best. According to the FAO, women make up 43% of the global agricultural workforce, and in Ghana, they are 44%. Yet, these women face daunting challenges in accessing the vital resources they need to feed not just their families, but approximately 70% of the Ghanaian population. Rural women need funding, agricultural inputs, education, and market access. By working together, we can break down these barriers, support their livelihoods, and ensure they produce enough nutritious food for everyone. Increased funding is essential. Join RDF GHANA LBG. in this vital mission. #ruraldevelopment #ruralwomen #foodsecurity #AgroWoman360 SUNG FOUNDATION GHANA

The health of rural women is crucially linked to food production, as many of them work in agriculture. RDF is committed to supporting rural women to ensure their success. During our flagship program for rural women in 2023, AgroWoman 360, we provided breast cancer screenings to over 100 rural women in agriculture in Northern Ghana. With coordinated efforts, we can reach even more women. Agricultural investors should be concerned about the health of rural women, as it directly impacts the stability of agrifood systems, return on investments, and the achievement of desired impact results. #ruraldevelopment #ruralwomen #breastcancer FAO Centers for Disease Control and Prevention International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)

Right to foods for a better life and a better future. Everyone deserves and has a right to nutritious meals to enable them live healthy and meaningful lives. The United Nations says the right to food means that food must be adequate, available and accessible to all. The beginning of good food starts with equipping those who grow them with the appropriate tools and resources to sustainably cultivate quality food for all. Our Integrated Soil Fertility Programme for farmers in Ghana addresses the critical issue of declining soil fertility, ensuring sustainable cultivation practices. This initiative enables farmers to continue producing nutritious food in abundance. Invest in RDF Ghana's mission to create a better future by supporting our efforts to equip farmers with the tools and resources they need to sustain and enhance food production. Together, we can make a significant impact on #ruraldevelopment and global #foodsecurity.
