Who We Are

The Gender Equity through Agricultural Research and Education Initiative (GEARE) at Penn State brings together an interdisciplinary team of faculty and graduate students focused on the intersections of gender, agriculture, food security, and the environment. Through research, education, and evidence-based outreach, our team is dedicated to address global gender inequities. Our intent is for this blog to expand past GEARE and connect scholars across the world.

Our Site

Our site is a collaborative space with contributions from scholars, researchers, and practitioners from across the world. We aim to raise awareness about the gendered and food system related impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope this can be a space for rich discussion and sharing of experiences.
