agriculture

Using a unique, farmer-focused research methodology, this project encourages women to view themselves not as secondary players in the agricultural sector, but as principal farmers, researchers, teachers, and active agents of social change.

Ownership of land is seen as being necessary for one to be considered a 'farmer', but patriarchal norms oppose inheritance to women farmers, leaving them unable to access benefits and rights. 

Experts are recommending the use of information and communication tools to help farmers regain faith in crop insurance schemes.
