In some areas, they are legally prohibited from owning land. This is especially an issue because owning land provides freedom and the right to make one's own decisions. When given land, women would usually own smaller plots of significantly lower quality.]]> 2023-02-17 13:27:07 UTC https://padlet.com/20236095/mxm2ef4c99zdifuw/wish/2486320258 Commercial Agriculture 20236095 https://padlet.com/20236095/mxm2ef4c99zdifuw/wish/2486332101 Women have contributed to commercial agriculture and rural economies.

They then lack the funds to utilize sustainable agricultural practices or other methods and farming tools. Despite this, their income contributes to improving transportation, infrastructure, and health, achieving more improvements with their minimal income by over ten times.]]> 2023-02-17 13:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/20236095/mxm2ef4c99zdifuw/wish/2486342107 Women in Agriculture Today 20236095 https://padlet.com/20236095/mxm2ef4c99zdifuw/wish/2497411881 Due to the low-skilled required jobs that women tend to be offered, it is difficult to assess and determine any statistics comparing the agricultural skills between men and women. Governments and international organizations clearly see that women are facing difficult responsibilities with lack of credit, however. Fortunately, in recent years, women are beginning to become empowered. In Guatemala, for example, they are being given more decision-making opportunities due to men leaving the agricultural industry. ]]> 2023-02-28 04:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/20236095/mxm2ef4c99zdifuw/wish/2497411881 Works Cited 20236095 https://padlet.com/20236095/mxm2ef4c99zdifuw/wish/2497420541 Rio, Carmen del. “What Is the Role of Women in Food Security?” Sostenibilidad, 23 Oct. 2018, https://blogs.iadb.org/sostenibilidad/en/cual-es-el-rol-de-la-mujer-en-la-seguridad-alimentaria-2/#:~:text=It's%20estimated%20that%20women%20produce,in%20their%20families%20and%20communities.
