You can narrow your results by trying both in the same search: http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q="gender p...

follow up Hey- that link produces the same result as the one I pasted. Google does not distinguish between "gender practice" and "gender, practice" and pages where those two words appear but not next to each other, and I don't know if there is a way to force it do do so or how to do it if there is... I'll have a look at the hits that are related to human development

thanks again Gracias, Daniel! :)

context beyond what I have already written above: the cited source text is an item on a list which appears in a summary of principles and programs of the human development proposal. The first principle listed is socioeconomic well-being for the population in question. Underneath this principle are listed several programs. One of these programs is a food soverignty program. In this section, after a brief discription of the program, there is a list of items, which appear in bullet point/outline style, which are elements of support for said program provided in part by an already existing anti-hunger program. Among these appears the source text cited above.

I must say I am rather suspicious of the suggested "gender practice" precisely because of the context which does not mention "gender" as such anywhere else...
also http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=gender practice&btnG=Se... reveals first page search results which for the most part are unrelated contextually and are "gender, practice" but not "gender practice"...

Please include plenty of original CONTEXT.

Note from asker:
But I wonder if this be correct in the context cited (see recently added note above) because the source text is talking about food security and sovereignty and no where else in this section does it mention anything regarding "gender" ...
It still seems goofy in this context since they don't mention gender or gender politics/women's liberation, etc., outside of this phrase, but I'll go w/it... And I do thank you! Obviously, "gender" for "género" did occur to me stratight off the bat, but like I said, it just seemed out of place here...
