Abstract

Rural women form an important segment of human resources in the rural areas. As such, strategies to increase their access to land as farm workers, despite their limited access to land ownership, should be considered so women, who form about half of rural population, aren't left out. This article's strategies should be of interest to policymakers and program planners who are responsible for Extension work and rural development.
