Abstract
"In her paper, Zubeida Ahmad has attempted to establish a link
between women's predominant role in food and agricultural production,
the tasks women are generally called upon to perform, the constraints
under which they operate and their need to form solidarity groups for
family survival and generating income-earning activities. In this
struggle for family/local food self-sufficiency, women's rights in land
(or lack of them), which in turn provides an access to credit, improved
inputs, technical knowledge, is considered of basic importance."
