🌽 Women bean farmers in Bomet County, Kenya, are vital to food systems. Despite dominant roles, they face undervaluation, earning less than 80% of men's wages for the same work. Globally, women hold under 15% of agricultural land, yet they make up 40%-41% of the workforce. They lack access to land, finance, and markets. Closing gender gaps could boost global GDP by $1 trillion. The UN designated 2026 as the International Year of the Woman Farmer to address these inequalities.
