Global Experts and Policymakers Aim to Empower Women Farmers by Addressing Access Gaps in Agriculture<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In Hyderabad, agricultural experts, policymakers, and leaders from agri-food systems gathered for an international workshop focused on making agricultural extension and advisory services (EAS) more gender-responsive. The three-day event, organized by the CGIAR\u2019s GENDER Impact Platform through the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and the National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE), aimed to bridge critical gaps that limit women farmers\u2019 access to essential agricultural resources, knowledge, and technologies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women\u2019s Access to Agricultural Support\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With global food insecurity and climate change posing increasing challenges, the workshop highlighted the unique struggles that women face in agriculture. Women make substantial contributions to the agri-food system, whether as producers, farm managers, or entrepreneurs, yet they remain largely underserved by agricultural extension services. These services, designed to provide farmers with knowledge and training to enhance productivity, often do not reach women effectively due to societal barriers and limited resources.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Saravanan Raj, Director of Agricultural Extension at MANAGE, emphasized the importance of empowering local extension professionals and fostering gender-responsive approaches. \u201cWe need to empower grassroots extension professionals and ensure that the knowledge they share is inclusive and accessible to all, especially women farmers,\u201d Dr. Raj stated during the workshop\u2019s opening session.\u00a0

Systemic Barriers to Empower Women Farmers\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Speakers and participants underscored that simply providing access to EAS is not enough. Women farmers face challenges such as restricted land ownership, limited mobility, and lack of access to digital tools. Dr Ranjitha Puskur, Evidence Module Lead at the CGIAR GENDER Impact Platform and Principal Scientist in Gender and Livelihoods at IRRI, stressed the importance of tackling root causes. \u201cWe know that women lack adequate access to extension services, but to make lasting change, we need to move beyond the symptoms and address underlying issues.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop identified the need for tailored solutions to overcome these challenges, recognizing that women\u2019s roles in agriculture vary across regions. Women constitute 66% of agricultural employment in sub-Saharan Africa and 71% in Southern Asia, highlighting the urgent need for gender-responsive policies and practices in these areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovations in Digital Extension Services and Gender-Responsive Tools<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A significant part of the discussion revolved around innovative technologies that could help close the gender gap in agricultural support. Participants from both the public and private sectors shared strategies for utilizing digital platforms to make EAS more inclusive. A participant from Bayer introduced a recently launched WhatsApp chatbot that provides video and graphic-based advisory services to over 4,000 farmers. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in such digital tools has the potential to bridge knowledge gaps, enabling farmers to receive timely guidance and support.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop also spotlighted farmer-to-farmer learning and digital farmer field schools, which continue to be effective platforms for knowledge sharing. These platforms have proven especially valuable for women farmers, offering them a more accessible way to connect and learn despite mobility and time constraints.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Calls for Policy and Practice Reforms\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The workshop underscored the need for intentional policies to support women farmers. In his remarks, ICRISAT Interim Director General Dr. Stanford Blade highlighted the need for dedicated efforts across all levels of the agricultural sector. \u201cAs we look towards the future of agriculture, it\u2019s essential that our policies and practices actively support women farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs who are transformative forces in the sector,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Blade\u2019s remarks resonated with many participants, who emphasized that a holistic approach is necessary to ensure that women are not only included but empowered within the global agri-food system. The workshop’s outcome is expected to drive new initiatives, collaborations, and strategies to support gender equity in agricultural extension services.\u00a0
