Indian women in agriculture face gender bias, struggle for resources
Rural Indian women play a crucial role in agriculture, producing staple crops and caring for livestock. They also handle post-harvest activities and are essential for food production. However, they face challenges in accessing resources like land, credit, and technology. Despite their significant contributions, women often do not benefit from economic growth and development processes. Gender bias and blindness persist in the agricultural sector, making it harder for women to improve their production capacity. The current system is insensitive to gender issues, leaving women with limited control over the fruits of their labor.
