Patriarchy is a system of power over others that permits oppression and hunger to damage societies world-wide. This thesis explores the connection and effect of patriarchy on food security and gender equity, and finds that there is a global need for women to have improved access to education and land, and that women must be included in consultation on all world problems. Programs designed to increase gender equity offer practical solutions to food insecurity that can assist in the reduction of world hunger. Instituting inclusive programs that foster gender equality in many localities is imperative to sustain a livable planet. 000007707 650__ $$aMalnutrition$$035450 000007707 650__ $$aEducation$$018215 000007707 650__ $$aHunger$$020388 000007707 6531_ $$agender bias 000007707 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine 000007707 692__ $$aGraduate Programs in Human Nutrition 000007707 7001_ $$aMetelmann, Velda 000007707 8564_ $$9bbf1019b-1f87-4475-b8d1-f1a7e756789c$$s317064$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7707/files/Metelmann.Velda.2017.pdf 000007707 905__ $$a/rest/prod/8c/97/kq/91/8c97kq91n 000007707 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7707$$pstudent-work 000007707 980__ $$aFood Systems & Society
