1
This is the VOA Special English Agriculture Report.
2
A new report says if women farmers had the same rights as men, more could be done to reduce world hunger.
3
The report, Empowering Women in Agriculture, is from the anti-hunger group Bread for the World.
4
Bread for the World says equal access to agricultural resources would help increase food security and economic growth.
5
Faustine Wabwiri is the group's foreign assistance specialist.
6
She says women constitute half of the agricultural labor force in not just Africa,
7
but the developing countries as a whole.
8
And when you think of Africa alone,
9
she says, it's more than 60 percent of the total agricultural labor force being provided by women.
10
The report says in most countries,
11
women working in rural areas are more likely than men to hold seasonal,
12
part-time, and low-wage jobs.
13
They also receive less pay for the same work.
14
Ms. Wabwiri says women farmers often cannot get seeds, fertilizer, proper tools, credit, and especially land.
15
She says in most of Africa, about 80 percent of the population is living in rural areas,
16
and they subsist on agriculture.
17
Women make up 60 percent of the agricultural labor force, and yet they lack access to resources, she says.
18
She says land is one good example.
19
Less than 20 percent of all landholders are women.
20
This is often because of legal as well as cultural reasons.
21
She says women who have lost their husbands may have no legal rights over their land.
22
The only way to keep the land, she says, is to marry, say, the brother of the dead husband.
23
Restrictions like these, she says, continue to impede women's ability to fully enjoy their human rights.
24
However, Ms. Wabwiri says women in agriculture are getting more attention these days.
25
For example, Kenya's new constitution gives women the right to own land.
26
But she says there is still a long way to go.
27
Bread for the World is urging the United States government to increase development assistance,
28
or at least not to decrease it.
29
She says Feed the Future, the U.S government's agriculture aid program,
30
is helping to elevate the status of women.
31
But Ms. Wabwiri says more African governments must recognize the major role that women play in agriculture and elsewhere.
32
Just how much could hunger be reduced if women had equal access to agricultural resources?
33
The report estimates that hunger could be reduced for an extra 100 to 150 million people.
34
For VOA Special English, I'm Alex Villarreal.
35
Thank you.

背景与背景

本期VOA特别英语农业报告探讨了女性在农业领域的重要性，尤其是在发展中国家。根据最新报告《赋权女性于农业》，若女性农民享有与男性相同的权利，全球饥饿现象将能够得到更有效的解决。报告指出，女性约占非洲及其他发展中国家农业劳动力的一半，但她们却面临众多资源与权利的限制。这一话题不仅关乎女性的经济独立与发展，更直接影响着全球食品安全与经济增长。

日常交流中的五个重要短语

  • 提高食品安全 - 代表通过有效的资源使用确保人们的基本粮食需求能得到满足。

  • 获得土地的权利 - 女性在农村地区通常难以拥有土地所有权。
  • 发展援助 - 各国政府应增加对农业和赋权女性的支持，以减少饥饿现象。

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
