EL BATAN, Mexico (CIMMYT) — To mark International Women’s Day 2016, the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) created an infographic to highlight the importance of reducing the gender gap in agriculture.

CIMMYT is dedicated to ensuring the inclusion of women in its projects, research and training opportunities.
