Abstract

The paper reviews the impact of selected barriers on women farmers’ full participation in sustainable agricultural development and environmental conservation in sub-Saharan Africa. It is recommended that a holistic and integrated approach be taken, including promoting gender equality in access to educational opportunities and training programs for women and girls; women be a part of policy, and decision making process at all levels in the national and rural agricultural sectors; and that they be given access to other programs and other facilities that focus on the needs of women in agriculture and their other multiple roles, to enhance sustainable agricultural production and environmental conservation in sub- Saharan Africa.
