Women now make up over 42% of India’s farming workforce, yet nearly half work unpaid amid systemic barriers.
Women now make up over 42% of India’s agricultural workforce, driven by male outmigration, but nearly half work unpaid, with their numbers rising sharply.
Despite their critical role in farming—boosting household income by a third—systemic barriers like limited land ownership, low wages, and lack of credit keep them in low-value roles.
