Our coordinator, Professor Sally Shortall, has published a new article on the vital research of the GRASS CEILING project. The article, titled “Breaking the grass ceiling: Gender inequality in agriculture”, provides a comprehensive overview of our findings and mission.
In her article, Professor Shortall highlights a critical issue: agriculture has the highest levels of gender inequality globally. She explains how, despite progress, traditional biases in land ownership and policy continue to create barriers for women. The piece showcases how our Living Labs, established across nine European countries, are working not only to research these inequalities but also empower women innovators to drive socio-ecological change.
We invite you to read the full article for a deeper understanding of the challenges women in rural areas face and how the GRASS CEILING project is working to build a more equitable and sustainable future.
