More than a third of the world’s workforce works in agriculture and in developing countries, and women make up 43% of the workforce.
But they comprise less than a fifth of landholders.
Access to secure tenure and ownership of land is harder for women than men, and there is an imbalance in yields produced by male and female farmers because they lack equal access to resources such as seeds.
The BBC’s Zuhura Yunus looks at the economic argument for rectifying this.
Produced by Charlie Newland.
This year’s season features two weeks of inspirational stories about the BBC’s 100 Women and others who are defying stereotypes around the world.
