Abstract

Nowadays, in most households, food and nutrition affairs are delegated to women. However, in the sub-Saharan regions, like the most undeveloped countries, food security is still in danger. Such a situation is not observed in developed countries. Why so? Is women's positive contribution to food security only reserved for developed countries? How can women in less developed countries intervene in food security? This paper analyses food security from a gender perspective and focuses on women's participation and empowerment as means to eradicate food insecurity.
