From Sowing to Leading: The Crucial Role of Women in Agriculture

"GREEN's initial success can largely be attributed to the leadership and commitment of a select group of women. Their invaluable contributions were pivotal in launching our first initiatives aimed at empowering India's small-scale and marginal farmers. Women have consistently been the foundation of GREEN, providing crucial momentum for our endeavours.
Recent research on the gender division of labour in agriculture reveals that women are responsible for a significant percentage of sowing, threshing, and animal care. Despite their substantial involvement, the contributions of women to Indian agriculture have often gone unrecognised. A key goal of GREEN is to address this oversight and highlight women’s leadership skills in the agricultural sector. https://greenfoundation.in/why-we-do-this "
