Imagine if the rules for running a farm only considered how a man does it, ignoring the hidden work women do. This project creates new ways to measure a farm's success that include this invisible labor and leadership. It's like updating an old accounting book to finally count all the actual work happening on the ground.
Agricultural viability is currently measured by purely economic metrics that ignore the unpaid labor and leadership of women. This leads to inefficient policy budgeting and prevents women-led farms from accessing necessary resources.
Feminist farm viability indicators and Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) tools to change how agricultural success and funding are measured.
If you are a consultancy dealing with outdated farm viability metrics — this project developed feminist farm viability indicators that provide a more accurate picture of operational success. This allows for better strategic planning for women-led farms.
If you are a government body dealing with inefficient resource allocation — this project developed Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) tools. These tools help ensure public funds actually reach underserved groups like migrant farmworkers.
If you are a training center dealing with low female enrollment due to stereotypes — this project analyzed 21 women-led innovations. These insights can be used to redesign curricula to attract more young women to agricultural careers.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as the project is EU-funded research.
The project analyzes 21 innovations across 12 countries, suggesting the tools are designed for broad European application, though specific industrial scaling metrics are not listed.
Based on available project data, there is no mention of specific patents or licensing terms for the developed tools.
The project aims to change the framing of food from a commodity to a right, providing tools to influence gender mainstreaming in agricultural policies.
The project runs from 2023-01-01 to 2026-12-31, meaning full tool deployment is expected by the end of 2026.
The consortium is heavily academic and research-oriented, consisting of 14 partners from 9 countries. With 5 universities and 4 research organizations, and 0 industry partners or SMEs, the project is driven by theoretical and social science expertise rather than commercial development.
