Women in Agriculture - Fall 1997 - Issue 79
Vol. 21 (1997)
Women ‘s involvement in the agricultural sector is a well recognized fact, particularly in developing countries where they are the most important food producers and where they assist their husbands in most of the farming tasks. Yet, they are still perceived basically as “housewives” and their involvement in agricultural activities is considered as a natural extension of their homemakers’ role.
