Women and sustainable agriculture in Côte d’Ivoire: Challenges and perspectives

Abstract

This article focuses on the challenges of building women's capacities to ensure sustainable agriculture in Cote d'Ivoire and the prospects for their empowerment. To achieve this objective, a literature review is carried out. The main data show that in Cote d'Ivoire, women are stakeholders in the strategies implemented for sustainable agriculture. Several actions are helping to drive a new era of gender equality in rural Ivorian areas. Conflict management, women's capacity building and the literacy policy have led to greater women's empowerment. In this set of actions, soilless cultivation is positioned as a real opportunity for women to revolutionize sustainable agriculture in Cote d'Ivoire.
