..Transforming Primary Production In Vanuatu Through Gender Equality And The Empowerment Of Women." Women and men have traditionally shared roles and responsibilities for primary production (inclusive of agriculture, livestock, forestry and fisheries) and food security in Vanuatu. ln agriculture, for example, on average women and men work equally in cash crops, although women tend to work more in labour white men take crops to market. Subsistence production is more heavily weighted towards women. The balance of women's work across subsistence and cash crops changes across the provinces of Vanuatu. Women fulfil a wide range of roles in the household including as farmers (livestock and crop), fishers and foresters, food producers and nutritionists; however their contribution is often unrecognised, poorly rewarded and unsupported and they receive limited agricultural extension assistance. This negatively impacts on national and household agricultural[ production, food security and nutrition. Women farmers, fishers and foresters face social/cultural, time and logistical barriers to inputs for primary production - financial services and credit, technology transfers and extension and technical services, information and research, training and farm inputs such as seeds and tools' They also have unequal access to decision-making including primary production priorities, environmental management and land use planning, and access to productive resources. Violence against women, including domestic violence, also has a negative impact on agricultural productivity and food security.
