Abstract
In many developing countries, women are central to agricultural production and possess valuable, often underutilized, knowledge of crop diversity and local food systems. Despite significant global efforts to address food insecurity and gender inequality, the impact of many well-intentioned initiatives is frequently diminished by local, institutional, and bureaucratic barriers. This article examines a selection of agricultural programs that have demonstrated measurable success in promoting gender equity and improving food security by actively investing in women’s skills, leadership, and economic participation in agribusiness. Through an in-depth analysis of eight such initiatives that prioritize personal development and capacity building, this study identifies key implementation strategies that have contributed to their effectiveness. The findings offer practical guidance for policymakers, development practitioners, and organizations seeking to design future interventions that are contextually grounded, inclusive, and capable of delivering long-term, sustainable outcomes for marginalized communities.
