women’s agriculture

Women’s agriculture refers to the significant role women play in farming and food production, particularly in developing countries. They often manage fields, plant and harvest crops, and take care of livestock, contributing to local economies and food security. Despite their efforts, women in agriculture frequently face challenges such as limited access to land, credit, and training compared to their male counterparts. Empowering women in agriculture can enhance productivity, improve household nutrition, and promote sustainable agricultural practices. Recognizing and supporting their contributions is crucial for achieving overall agricultural development and gender equality.
