The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people.

Данная публикация содержит русскую версию материалов по почвозащитному и ресурсосберегающему земледелию, разработанных учеными СИММИТ. Они подробно излагают теоретическую основу технологий сохранения почв, а также методы ее возделывания. Это первое наглядное средство на русском языке для студентов сельскохозяйственных университетов, фермеров, агрономов и специалистов в области почвозащитного и ресурсосберегающего земледелия, которое, надеемся, поможет расширить область применения усовершенствованных технологий на фермерских полях.

Based on a broad literature review, this publication discusses rural women’s time poverty in agriculture, elaborates on its possible causes and implications and provides insight into the various types of constraints that affect the adoption of solutions for reducing work burden. This paper raises questions about the adequacy of women’s access to technologies, services and infrastructure and about the control women have over their time, given their major contributions to agriculture.
