Closing gender gaps is crucial for food and nutrition security
Empowering women is a key factor towards improving the agricultural productivity and adaptive capacity of smallholders in India.
Women on smallholder farms in developing countries face multiple constraints compared to their male counterparts, among other things, under paid farm work in addition to bearing the burden of care and reproductive roles within the family and community. They are in many cases deprived of land ownership, access to markets, key assets and inputs, and are frequently excluded from decision-making.
smart technologies among men and women farmers are important in building resilient agricultural production systems. Modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are important to facilitate learning and timely knowledge sharing.
