Women are buying their own cattle and leaving the villages with their own herds to find grass and water in the desert

Women are planting irrigated fields of grain to feed the group's livestock so that families do not have to move with the herds

Women are learning to manage the family business, including finances, while their husbands are away with the herds searching for water and grass

Women are trading livestock from the family herd for fresh vegetables and fruit from sedentary farmers

Women are leaving the pastoralist groups for urban areas, where they find jobs in tourism

Paddy rice farming

Mixed crop/livestock farming

Livestock ranching

Market gardening and truck farming

Plantation agriculture

There are no women working as livestock farmers in commercial agriculture because they are not permitted to own land or livestock

They own or work only in market gardens because women grow vegetables better than men*

Women work only as migrant laborers in farming because they are not permitted to own land or livestock

All women working in commercial agriculture inherited the farms from their families

Women in commercial agriculture work in a large variety of farm types from organic farming to dairy farming

Women moved off the farms and into the cities to work in the factories because they had more ability to run sewing machines in a factory than to run farm machinery

Women were forced off the farm because they were no longer needed to milk the cows due to technology that provided automated milking machined that only men could run

Women were able to make more money from selling farm produce because they could hire people to help them produce a surplus

Women were expected to wash the automated milking machines twice a day at the end of milking because they had the time now that they were not required to milk cows

Women were marginalized from their traditional roles in cheese making when technology made it possible to produce cheese in a factory using the milk from many farms

These regions are composed of less-developed countries with small rural populations.

These regions are near the equator, in climate zones with high temperatures.

These regions are composed of less-developed countries with large rural populations. Rationale: Correct. The areas shown on the map with at least 51 percent of women working in agriculture are all less-developed countries that have large rural populations.

These regions are in the Southern Hemisphere, in temperate climate zones.

These regions are composed of more-developed countries with large urban populations.

There is a strong correlation between countries with a large percentage of women in the paid workforce and women working in agriculture.

Typically women in these regions work for agribusiness in the formal paid workforce.

There is less food produced in these regions and therefore fewer women working in agriculture.

Many women in these regions work on farms and grow food for their families, but not all are paid to do this work.

Agriculture is considered a prestigious field in these regions, and they have the highest percentage of women working in agriculture.

In rural agricultural regions, women control the political and social lives of the community and consider farming as their primary role.

In the shifting cultivation found in rain forest regions, women do the work of claiming land and clearing the forest of trees.

In the subsistence-based rural economies in these regions, female farmers produce much of the food that their families need for survival.

In tropical regions soil and climate conditions are so favorable that little labor is required to farm crops.

Women own or rent much of the land cultivated for plantation crops such as cacao, coffee, or tea.
