Abstract : Agriculture, for decades, had been associated with the production of basic food crops. Agriculture is the backbone of a country's economic system. Agricultural planning and development are crucial to human survival, but they usually proceed without any consideration of the importance of gender issues at the production level. Although women have long been prime movers in agriculture, their contribution to the world's food supply has been largely ignored, and consequently their stake in development has been undermined. Control, access and ownership of assets and resources required for agriculture are a critical component for well-being of households and country. A crucial first step toward understanding the gender dimensions of asset and resource ownership and control is acquiring detailed gender-disaggregated information.Though many agricultural development programmes are taking care to reduce gender inequalities and provide equal opportunities to both men and women the gaps are not being reduced completely. Therefore still more interventions are to be taken up by some government and NGO's to reduce the differences between gender in agriculture.
