In developing countries, subsistence farming is a huge part of society. This means that the foods people grow are used to feed themselves rather than be used for commercial sale. Women make up around 60-80% of the food production role in most developing countries. From rearing poultry and livestock to growing and farming crops, women take responsibility for accumulating the products of agriculture. However, these conditions are not great and the process is extremely labor-intensive. Not to mention, the pay is small, if there even is pay at all, considering the profits are rather small or the cultivation is solely to feed the family where there would be no pay.

In respect to commercial agriculture, there are a plethora of roles that women make up aside from picking and cultivating crops. For one, there are female farmers and farm workers, researchers, ranchers, and educators. With that said, women comprise many different jobs in commercial agriculture like farm marketing and farm business. Women contribute to around 38% of the decision-making on a farm in respect to industry, which holds a lot of authority. In developed countries, women have moved away from subsistence farming and into commercial farming because subsistence farming is not needed. From this point, there are a ton of different jobs that women could work on a commercial farm.

Difficulties women in agriculture are facing

# data[].attributes.body
Women are facing many issues in agriculture through the gender gap. For example, there is not as much equal treatment for both men and women in the industry. Many women are having trouble getting access to land and productive resources as compared to men. Also, financing, producing for the market, and training in suitable working conditions are not equitable. Unpaid work is also a major concern for women in agriculture since they are generally undermined in the industry and do not have the same respect for pay and attaining land rights as men. With that said, this struggle is most definitely more apparent in developing countries where the agricultural process is more straining on the farm due to the lack of machinery.

Women play a huge role in the food industry. While women are all involved in everything from farmers, processors, wage workers, traders, and all the way to consumers, a huge part is comprised to the food service. For example, around 60.9% of all food service workers are women. This could mean anything from hostesses to waitresses, or anything involved in the business of food service. This number highlights a definite majority in this respective industry and shows the blossom of women in the agribusiness world and farm business outside of the actual growth of agriculture itself.

According to the U.N FAO, women comprise around 43% of the world's agricultural labor force. This percentage is slightly smaller than the percent of women in the agricultural labor force in developing countries, which ranges from 60-80%. An interesting fact I learned is that a female farmer is technically called a "farmerette". I also found that it is typical for the men on the farm to work on cash crop production, while the women manage the production of crops on smaller plots of land.
