Abstract

Women are traditionally important participants in both agriculture and forestry components of agroforestry production. Women are key players in the agricultural sector of most developing countries. In agroforestry projects, the involvement of women is essential in project definition, design and implementation. Yet women still, for the most part, are being excluded from involvement. Women managed agroforestry technologies had greater success compared to their counterparts.
