Abstract
The article introduces the Forum on Commercializing Agriculture/
Reorganizing Gender, which reports findings from DEMETER
project, a collaboration of scholars from Cambodia, Ghana and
Switzerland. The project examines how agriculture and food
security policies have advanced or hindered gender equality and
the right to food; analyzes the role of human rights-based
accountability mechanisms in this; and maps gendered changes
in livelihoods in situated contexts. We offer a literature review on
governance of the international food system from a gender and
rights perspective, and on the gendered political economy of
agrarian change. We relate the contributions of the Forum to
existing literature and preview their findings
