They do the handweeding on farms 90% of the time, which is very hard work. On top of that, they are responsible for collecting water and fuel. Women put in nearly 40 billion hours a year collecting water. This hard work is overshadowed by her husband or father, who is usualy the landowner. Women are responsible for 60 to 80 percent of all food produced in developing countries. ]]> 2021-02-23 05:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/202110603/7ioh2geds89uw4pv/wish/1229766921 Women in Commercial Agriculture 202110603 https://padlet.com/202110603/7ioh2geds89uw4pv/wish/1229771668 In Africa, Women are often given backbreaking jobs for nearly half of what a man is paid.
