| Abstract |
Global resource shortages mainly affect women farmers, including labor, credit, training, and information.
With significant contributions to food production, subsistence farming, and the labor force in the
agricultural sector in developing nations, gender mainstreaming is an issue for global food security. This
study aims to determine whether the Iligan City agriculture sector is experiencing the gender challenges
recognized in the associated literature. A quantitative method was applied in the descriptive study design.
The conclusions will serve as the foundation for any gender mainstreaming programs suggested to solve
gender challenges. It was assumed that the respondents may have experienced these issues or may not have,
or may not have been aware of the gender issues mentioned. Everyone has to be included, according to
respondents in the agriculture industry who were asked about gender analysis and participation. Overall, the
respondents are unbiased on gender issues that exist in Iligan City's agricultural industry. It suggests that the
respondents noticed that the city's agriculture sector is somehow experiencing or impacted by these gender
difficulties. It is possible that the respondents did not know about the gender concerns that have been
documented, or they may have experienced these problems but chose not to disclose them. Conclusions
were reached, indicating that there were gender difficulties in the agriculture industry but that it was difficult
for participants to assess them due to a possible lack of knowledge regarding gender equality. There may not
be a strong emphasis on gender analysis in agriculture policies and practices. The researchers recommended
that government agriculture agencies, both local and national, include gender sensitivity training and other
activities relating to gender concerns and challenges in their programs and orientation for farmers. |
