Levelling the field : improving opportunities for women farmers in Africa (original) (raw)

The paper discusses the significant gender gap in agricultural productivity in Africa, highlighting the crucial role of women in agriculture who currently face numerous disadvantages in accessing resources and opportunities compared to their male counterparts. By addressing these barriers and implementing policies aimed at closing this gender gap, the potential exists not only for enhanced gender equality but also for improved agricultural output and food security, benefiting families and communities across the continent.
