Gender Equality in Agriculture

Gender equality in agriculture refers to the equal rights, responsibilities, and opportunities for all genders within the agricultural sector. It recognizes that women and men often face different challenges and opportunities in farming and food production. Promoting gender equality ensures that everyone can access resources, training, and decision-making roles, which enhances productivity and food security. By empowering women, who are crucial to agriculture, we can improve economic development and community resilience. Achieving gender equality involves addressing inequalities in land ownership, access to credit, and participation in agricultural policymaking.
