Inspiring & Empowering Women In Agriculture

Women are an important factor in food production and development of the national economy and more particularly, much of the human resource in agriculture in Zimbabwe is formulated by women. According to the National Gender Profile of Agriculture in Zimbabwe, rural women constitute seventy percent of household and family labour in rural communities.

Women in Zimbabwe make up a majority of small holder farmers. In the areas of Agriculture Research and development, Engineering, Production and Agro processing Zimbabwean women have made great strides which have gone unrecognised.
