Better life urged for farm women in developing nations
At the International Women's Year conference in Mexico City panelists urged improving rural women's status to bolster global food supply. They highlighted women as up to 70 percent of farming in Africa and parts of Asia and South America, calling for land ownership, access to credit, cooperative formation, and modern farming training over traditional craft roles. A U S delegation proposal backed equal inclusion of women in aid and growth programs, with emphasis on monitoring effectiveness and new research.
