Something getting in the way of women's success in agriculture globally is land rights. In the world, only 10-20% of women have their own land rights. The first major thing that gets in the way is the male dominated industry. Most of the agriculture industry is run by men so women are not taken as seriously. The second thing is, in some countries women still can't own their own land. This cuts out many women from having land right abilities.

During Covid-19, more women started to join the food distribution community. They have turned to delivery and distribution companies like DoorDash, UberEats and Instacart to make money during a time where many were losing/out of jobs. These companies pay enough to help families stay above water in a last resort. According to Uber, the amount of women delivering has doubled since the beginning of the pandemic.
