How investing in women farmers can drive economic growth.

[Johnson2468]

Investing in women farmers is essential for driving economic growth and sustainable development. Women are responsible for 43% of the agricultural labor force in developing countries, yet they face significant challenges, including limited access to land, credit, and markets. We can boost agricultural output and food security, lower poverty, and advance gender equality by supporting women farmers. According to studies, women can boost their yields by 20–30% when they have access to the same resources as males. Additionally, because women often put a bigger percentage of their income back into their families and communities, supporting women farmers can have a multiplier effect. As a result, supporting female farmers is not only morally right but also economically wise.
