AGRICULTURAL NEWS - However, I find myself questioning the need for more events and panel discussions aimed specifically at highlighting the role of women in agriculture, and even whether we need a specific women’s day.
I find these events to be almost unbearably patronising.
But then I have to remind myself that for far too many women in the world, success and sometimes mere survival are made more difficult simply by virtue of the fact that they are not men.
So, I contemplated writing about the particular challenges women face in the field of agriculture, and offering some advice to other women building a career in agriculture, based on my own experiences of working in this field.
