Women form about 65 percent of the global population that actively participates in agriculture, playing a pivotal role in ensuring not only the wellbeing of their families but also food security in the country. This is according to a World Bank research.
With the bulk of farmers being women, it means when natural calamities strike, they bear the brunt as their livelihoods are destroyed. This has been the case with the recen desert locust invasion, which devastated thousands of acres of lands in Kenya.
