Women in Agribusiness: Opportunities and Challenges to be published in March 2025, is a study that explores a largely overlooked challenge, i.e. women’s representation in India’s agribusiness sector. Most studies, so far, have focused on women’s roles as smallholder farmers and entrepreneurs. What’s missing is looking at women as employees along the agriculture business value chain, where they are disproportionately represented, even though women make up 30-40% of agricultural education students in the classroom, there is a clear disconnect between the education and the industry. Godrej Agrovet supports the study to understand why such disconnect exists and what can be done about it. Beyond identifying the problem – we’re looking for practical solutions that create a meaningful change. We’re examining the journey from education to employment, talking with students at agricultural colleges, connecting with women already working in the field, and engaging with employers to understand the barriers from all angles.
