Women play a vital role in our food systems but their potential to make those same systems more resilient and sustainable is often overlooked. I typeset a report by the NISD, based on an Independent United Nations Food Systems Summit Dialogue, outlining strategies to build women’s agency as a pathway to improving food systems. The report came out of a UNFSS Independent Dialogue entitled Women’s Agency and Gender Equity in Food Systems that was held on the 10th of June 2021. The event was organised by the Norwich Institute for Sustainable Development (NISD), Bharat Krishak Samaj, Rythu Sadhikara Samstha (RySS) and TIGR2ESS.

I was hired to typset the dialogue report and make a few figures and graphs. I typeset the report using Adove InDesign. Here’s the cover of the report.

Since this report had an NISD link through Nitya Rao, I used the NISD report branding and style I’ve created. The slight tweak here is that I wanted to make more use of negative space to break up the text and photgraphic content.

Many of the photos throughout this report were fantastic, taken by Toby Smith, who was hired as part of the TIGR2ESS project.

I made graphs for a few sections, producing these in Adobe Illustrator.
