Women in Agriculture
That this Assembly notes with concern the significant under-representation of women in the agricultural sector; recognises the structural and cultural barriers that limit women’s participation, including traditional inheritance practices, access to land, finance, training, and decision-making roles; acknowledges the vital role women play in farm businesses, rural communities and the agri-food industry; understands the huge benefits to be gained from their increased contribution; further notes the recommendations in the Committee for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs’ Breaking the Grass Ceiling report; and calls on the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to develop measures and initiatives to increase female participation and leadership within the sector.
