Natural resource thematic area (fisheries, forestry, agriculture, water, etc.)

Choose a natural resource thematic area (fisheries, forestry, agriculture, water, etc.) of their choice, and (1) consider and explain in detail how women versus men are involved with their specific resource, and how they relate to the resource directly: For example: “In a study of urban forestry/arboriculture professionals in the United States, it was found that love of trees and plants was most often listed as the reason for women and minoriti[zed folks] entering the profession, followed closely by love of the outdoors. This order was reversed for white males who cited income and employment potential and the top reasons for entering the profession.” (2) Describe the cultural, societal, political environment that enhances or impedes gender-equity for the management and use of the resource. (3) Discuss how women’s needs often differ from those of men regarding the harvesting, processing, production, care of a specific resource. (4) Explain whether there is equal or unequal access to information, training, technology, education and research (how this takes place). (5) As part of the content you should state specifically your suggestions for improvement, and how those improvements might be implemented. If no improvement is necessary, then you should state your case clearly — If changes have occurred to reflect gender-equity, what is society doing to accommodate those changes, and make them work to our/their (for developing nations) advantage? 2. This paper will be 5-7 pages in length (double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt. font) and make use of at least 3 academic sources outside of texts we have read for class. In addition to these 3, you may also use some resources from class. Paper should include an introduction, thesis statement, discussion with evidence, and conclusion. Paper must be well written with proper grammar, spelling and coherency in order to earn full credit. It should also have a properly sourced works cited with all sources you use in your paper.
