Millions of women in the fisheries industry are being left behind as new technologies emerge to address climate change and economic pressures, according to a new study by the University of East Anglia 

The research, entitled ‘A Systematic Review of the Impact of Post-Harvest Aquatic Food Processing Technology on Gender Equality and Social Justice’, looked at the post-harvest fisheries and aquaculture sector, where women make up 50% of the workforce.

The study, published in Nature Food, makes several recommendations for policy, research and practice.
