Why Land Rights for Women Farmers Matter: Unlocking Africa’s Economic Potential

Dated: May 21, 2025

Understanding Women Farmers' Land Ownership in Africa

In Africa, women play a crucial role in agriculture, contributing an impressive 70% of the continent's food production. However, the stark reality is that only 13% of women farmers own land in their own names. This disparity highlights a significant issue that affects not only individual farmers but also the broader economy.

The Importance of Land Ownership

Land ownership is more than just a legal title; it represents security, empowerment, and economic stability. For women farmers, possessing land can provide the means to invest in better farming practices, access credit, and secure their families’ livelihoods. Despite their contributions, women continue to face systemic barriers that inhibit their ability to own land, including cultural norms, lack of access to financial resources, and discriminatory laws.

Transforming the Economy

Securing land rights for women is a critical step towards transforming the economy in Africa. When women have the ability to own and manage land, they can enhance agricultural productivity and food security. This change can lead to improved economic outcomes not just for families, but for entire communities and countries.

Join the Conversation

To delve deeper into these pressing issues, we invite you to participate in our upcoming webinar. This event will provide insights into how securing land rights for women can drive economic transformation across Africa. Together, we can work toward a future where women farmers are recognized not only for their contributions but also for their rights.

Join us in advancing the conversation on land ownership and agricultural productivity—because empowering women is key to sustainable development in Africa.
