Global food systems generate a wide range of health, environmental, and socio-economic externalities that vary across regions, demographic groups, value chains, and production contexts. These include positive effects such as improved food and nutrition security, better air and water quality, job creation and community development, but also negative outcomes such as malnutrition and diet-related diseases, climate change and land degradation, unfair labour practices and rights violations. Yet, these costs and benefits are rarely reflected in the market price of food. To design future food systems that promote health, environmental sustainability, social equity/justice, and resilience, we must make these hidden impacts visible and act upon them.
On 8 March 2025, join GAIN in celebrating International Women’s Day under the powerful theme:
"For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment."
This year, we’re calling for bold actions that unlock equal rights, power, and opportunities for every woman and girl—no matter where they are. It’s a reminder that gender equality isn’t just a goal—it’s a right.
