Women contain a majority of the small farms and subsistence agriculture around the world and especially in more impoverished countries like in Africa. However, they are highly misrepresented in the statistics because many of them are unpaid and do not show up on the official statistics. Women are hit much harder by poverty in the LDC's because they have a wage gap and many times do not receive jobs. Because of this, they must farm for themselves and likely for their children instead of making very small amounts of money to buy food.

Difficulties women in agriculture are facing

# data[].attributes.body
Women in agriculture most commonly are faced with the wage gap, especially in LDC's because women have much less rights than in MDC's. Women are typically given the most labor intensive jobs and the least paying jobs, which creates more of a gap between men and women. They also work 12 to 13 hours more than men a week, but they are given little to no representation and little wages. Women are much less likely to move out of family farming than men are because of their ill-managed employment opportunities.

Commercial farming is something can be beneficial to women in agriculture because they are guaranteed to make a certain amount of money per day. They are also at a much higher rate to be employed and given the same wages as a man would working the same job. As commercial farming becomes a very large part of agriculture around the world, these jobs will help thousands of women get represented in the world and most importantly feed their families. However, these farms usually will put women in the more labor intensive jobs as they are less valued to the business.
