| description | In spite of their significant role in agriculture in India, women lack recognition as farmers and face structural barriers related to land ownership, access to resources and markets, and mobility, which are associated with high levels of gender discrimination and gender-based violence (Panda and Agarwal
2005; UNODC 2018). There is a stark absence of an intersectional analysis (based on age, disability, class, education) in the otherwise substantial body
of scholarship on women in agriculture and the gender barriers that they encounter, tending instead to generalize a communal female experience. This
lacuna is apparent in this current review of the situation of young women farmers in India. At the policy level, this silence is even more deafening; the
predicament of young women farmers is something of a policy desert. |
