It is argued that women do most of the agricultural activities and are responsible for the provision of food and, thus, contribute to food security worldwide.

This paper confirms that there are barriers such as socio-cultural, lack of access to credit, the challenge of women balancing paid and unpaid care work with farming and women's low literacy levels1 online resource (6 pages)enAgricultureUCTDExtension servicesFeminismProductive workReproductive workArticleNgomane T S.
