Women play a crucial role in Pakistan’s agriculture sector, often working alongside men in fields and contributing significantly to food production. However, their contributions often go unrecognized and undervalued.

Initiatives like Fatima Fertilizer’s “Sarsabz Tabeer” program are working to empower women in rural areas by providing them with skills-based training in farm processing. This initiative aims to reduce food waste and generate additional income for women farmers.

By equipping women with the knowledge and skills to process agricultural produce, these programs empower them to become more independent and contribute to their families’ livelihoods. This, in turn, can help alleviate poverty and improve food security in rural communities.

To further empower women in agriculture, it is essential to address the challenges they face, such as limited access to resources, education, and financial services. By providing equal opportunities and support, we can unlock the full potential of women in this vital sector.
