GEAR's key objective is to study gender inequalities in agriculture and rural areas by focusing on women farmworkers and women farmers in Portugal to better understand the structural and contextual factors shaping women’s lived experiences and processes of identity construction, while also illuminating the ways in which they seek to address and overcome gender inequalities.
Compliance with the goals of 2030 Agenda: The main issues related to gender equality in EU’s rural areas relate to ageing and masculinisation of agriculture, invisibility of women’s work in agriculture, and under-representation of women in farm ownership and agricultural decision-making (Shortall 2015). Over recent years, an additional factor in causing gender differences has arisen from the migration movements towards and within the EU. This has entailed the creation of new forms of vulnerability and exploitation in the agricultural sector, namely towards migrant women (Franić & Kovačićek 2019). A better understanding of the lived realities and views of both women farmers and women farmworkers, including migrant women, from an intersectional approach will inform policies and practices on building more sustainable food systems.
