Despite this overwhelming majority, women smallholders remain largely unsupported and their contribution to agriculture is often devalued because of their sex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWomen and smallholder farming: Addressing global inequities in agriculture\u003c\/em\u003e provides a comprehensive overview of the main obstacles and challenges women smallholders continue to face, such as restricted access to markets and education, as well as a lack of control over assets and property rights. The book also assesses the impact of sociocultural factors on women smallholder farmers in different regions around the world, including Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. In highlighting these issues, the book considers how key stakeholders across the agri-food supply chain can support, empower and sufficiently compensate women smallholder farmers for their contribution to agriculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdited by two internationally-renowned experts on gender and agriculture, the book will be a standard reference for university and other researchers studying smallholder farming systems in departments of agricultural science, gender studies, international development, politics and development economics, as well as government and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) involved in development programmes focussing on women smallholders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolyn Sachs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1801468052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781801468053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Carolyn Sachs","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46640760062207,"sku":"9781801468053","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25a1ce76-5daa-47fd-9f63-5db473eb475f.jpg?v=1740670443","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-and-smallholder-farming-carolyn-sachs-9781801468053","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
