Gender in agriculture

Gender in agriculture refers to the roles, responsibilities, and access to resources that different genders—primarily men and women—have within agricultural systems. It recognizes that men and women often participate differently in farming activities, own varying levels of land and tools, and face distinct challenges. Understanding gender in agriculture is essential to promoting fairness, increasing productivity, and ensuring that everyone benefits equally from agricultural development. Addressing gender disparities helps create more inclusive systems where all farmers can thrive and contribute effectively.
