Agriculture is the backbone of many economies around the world, especially in developing countries, where it provides food, supports livelihoods, and fosters economic growth. In rural areas of developing countries agriculture is the main source of income for families and to ensure the economic benefit and crop productivity women alongside men work hard to sustain their livelihoods. Women play a crucial role within this vital sector, contributing as farmers, laborers, and livestock caretakers. Women have always been unsung heroes in agriculture, as their contributions often go unrecognized and unappreciated. From performing various tasks on farms including preparation of land, sowing seeds, weeding, and harvesting, to selling the produce women are significant contributors, to agriculture. In addition to growing crops, women play a dominant role in managing livestock. They usually are involved in feeding, breeding, and attending to the animals, which play a vital role in the family’s income generation, nutrition, and the manure that comes back to the land for enhancing crop production. This labor-intensive job guarantees food availability regularly, not just for the family itself, but also for the global market. According to FAO, the global agricultural labor force contains 43% women. But still, they face several challenges such as limited access to resources, accessing land, gender discrimination, lack of acknowledgment, and unequal workload and education. Despite playing a crucial role in food production globally, women often have limited rights to land ownership or control. According to FAO statistics less than 15 percent of agricultural landowners globally are women, while 85 percent are men. Gender inequality and discrimination persist as significant challenges faced by women in agriculture.  Empowering women in agriculture is crucial not only for achieving gender equality but also for enhancing food security, boosting economic growth, and promoting sustainable development. When women have equal access to resources and opportunities, their productivity can match or even exceed that of men, leading to increased agricultural output and improved nutritional outcomes. Education is vital for improving women’s productivity and economic status in agriculture. However, many women in rural areas lack access to quality education due to cultural, social, and economic barriers. Providing education and training in agricultural practices, financial management, and entrepreneurship can help women boost their productivity, income, and leadership skills.
