dc.description.abstractThis paper deals with strategies to overcome barriers to agricultural extension and advisory services for women in agriculture. In targeting extension services towards women in the agricultural value chain, specific challenges cited in the study surveys are: small farm sizes due to lack of access to land; limited access to credit, input supply, and assets; and inadequate access to tractor services. Men have main access to silos and warehouses for grain storage. Other barriers are lack of access to radio and smart phones, lack of farmer organizations for women, and heavy workloads relating to farm work, care giving, and household chores.en
