How we can improve the status of women in agriculture and bring visibility to women farmers. The World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Index placed India 112th out of 153 nations in 2020. Women have the lowest levels of economic involvement and prospects, ranking 149th out of 153 nations (World Economic Forum 2020).
The Uttar Pradesh region, the major rice and wheat producing area of Northern India, stands as number two among the 10 highest rice and wheat producing Indian states. More than 70% of Uttar Pradesh’s 200 million population is dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods. The region is facing the multiple challenge of growing sufficient food for its increasing population, while at the same time facing increasingly unreliable and unfavorable environmental conditions for food production. In such a situation, the introduction of new crops tolerant to new climatic conditions, coupled with broader climate change adaptation efforts, offers a viable option at the moment, and has thus become the focus of this project.

33. Conclusion
• “If the latent potential of poor, marginal and small women farmers is
harnessed in institutions, to build their organizational and operational
capacities, then they will transform and re-define sustainable agriculture
and allied sectors as the backbone of rural economy and household food
security, both quantitatively and qualitatively.
• It is for us to visibly acknowledge and recognize them in their journey of
empowerment as a key driver themselves.”
