Agricultural productivity for wealth creation: potential in emphasising the role of women in agriculture

Abstract

The roles of women in agriculture is becoming increasingly vital, as more women-headed households are emerging, and traditional methods of food production have become grossly inadequate to cope with the current food needs of families. This review emphasizes the need for appropriate maximization of the role of women in agriculture, rural development, food crop production, fisheries production, forestry/environment, livestock production and post-harvest activities.
