Abstract: Alrededor de tres cuartas partes de los pobres del mundo viven en zonas rurales. Entre ellos, la mujer constituye un grupo especialmente vulnerable pero de importancia decisiva para el desarrollo económico y social. Invertir en la mujer rural, por tanto, no es sólo un imperativo moral, sino también una estrategia prometedora para combatir la pobreza y el hambre de forma eficaz.
