Answer:

Although women make up 43% of the global agricultural workforce, the percentage of agricultural landholders or owners that are women is much lower at 20%, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Women play important and varied roles in agriculture, but they are constrained by two important types of gender gaps: women have unequal access, relative to men, to productive resources, and there is insufficient information about the roles and resources of women and men.
