RRP: Open Access
Women are the backbone of Kenya’s agricultural sector, yet they remain marginalised in land ownership, environmental management, policy-making, and economic empowerment. This book critically examines how African traditions, colonial legacies, and exclusive governance structures shape their participation in agriculture. It explores the tensions between agripreneurship and ecofeminism, the struggle for land rights, and the structural inequalities that define agricultural governance and labour. Drawing on research from Baringo, Kitui, and Nakuru counties, it o-ers a compelling analysis of both the challenges and opportunities for gender-responsive agricultural governance. An essential read for scholars, policymakers, and advocates of gender justice in Africa.
