About this portal

Female agricultural researchers, professors, and senior managers offer different insights from their male counterparts. They provide an important perspective in addressing the unique and pressing challenges of all farmers, and female farmers in particular. Consequently, it is crucial that agricultural research agencies employ a balance of male and female researchers. This portal provides detailed sex-disaggregated data on human resources in agricultural research, thereby offering an essential tool to decision-makers and research managers to set priorities and benchmarks, and to monitor progress over time.
