This comprehensive work endeavors to delve into the intricate tapestry of gender roles in agriculture, encompassing their historical evolution, current status, and prospective trajectories. It is structured into three distinct divisions: Gender in agriculture development (Part I), Gender in allied sectors of agriculture (Part II), and Data, Tools, and Approaches in gender analysis (Part III). Within these sections, the book elucidates the pervasive gendered constraints that have shaped the sector. It offers valuable insights into the gender dimensions of Indian agriculture, highlighting initiatives, policy reforms, and addressing the existing literature gap regarding gender roles in this critical domain. Furthermore, the book explores the multifaceted gender roles and their impacts across diverse cultural and geographical landscapes within the emerging contexts of globalization, urbanization, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic. This invaluable resource is designed to serve as a valuable tool for academics, researchers, students, and social workers who are committed to fostering a gender-neutral world. Notably, this book is co-published with NIPA. Taylor and Francis cautions that it does not sell or distribute its print and electronic editions in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.
