The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
produced a 2011 report on women in agriculture with a clear and
urgent message: agriculture underperforms because half of all
farmers-women-lack equal access to the resources and opportunities
they need to be more productive. This book builds on the report's
conclusions by providing, for a non-specialist audience, a
compendium of what we know now about gender gaps in agriculture.

This book presents a thorough exploration of water rights in the
context of growing water scarcity and competition. It uses case
studies from across the globe to identify: *the range of water
rights and basis for claims on the resource. *local experiences in
negotiating water rights and opportunities to empower farmers in
water resource management. The book reviews conceptual framework
which can help to better manage and understand conflicts over
scarce water. Cases are presented from Nepal, India, Bangladesh,
Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Indonesia, Burkina Faso, Spain and New Mexico.
The book concludes with a chapter on implications for research and
action. This volume recognizes the growing demands on a scarce and
essential resource and argues that only negotiated approaches which
involve the water users themselves can ensure equitable, efficient
and acceptable outcomes. - This book will be of interest to
professionals involved in water resource management, food policy,
rural development, irrigation management and property law/property
rights as well as agricultural economists and social activists.
