Abstract

If small-scale and women farmers are to achieve their productive potential and receive the full benefits of their work, they must have advocates at the policy-making, managerial, and technical levels of Kenya's agricultural system. To be most effective these leaders must come from the ranks that they represent; that is, women leaders can best represent the needs and views of women farmers. This paper examines hindrances to women's development as agricultural professionals in Kenya: women's access to education and training, the current employment situation for women, and the major constraints to women's leadership in agriculture
