On November 20, NLandscape – the Dutch Platform on Landscape Approaches – organizes the knowledge event “Where Gender Meets Landscape” in collaboration with Oxfam Novib, Both ENDS, Solidaridad, LANDac, Beagle Sustainable Solutions and Wageningen UR. 

What’s at stake

A landscape approach simultaneously enhances the position of women and the sustainable use of natural resources in the area. At least that is what you could postulate reading theoretical studies and position papers. Is this what we experience in the landscape programmes we are implementing? And if yes how are we making this work?

Knowledge session

In the NLandscape knowledge session the work with gender in landscapes will be discussed. How to make food and nutrition, natural resources provisioning and other landscape functions benefit from gender equality. And the other way round. With a deep dive in cases brought in by platform members inspired by lecturer and researcher at Radboud University Nijmegen Irene Dankelman who will set the scene in a key note speech on the question where landscape meets gender.
