Gender and the Growth of the Export Horticulture Industry in Kenya. Gender and entrepreneurship

      Аннотация: Men and women are involved in agriculture at different levels and in different ways in both urban and rural areas. In Africa, 80% of the agricultural production comes from small farmers, who are mostly rural women. Among the key highlights of this book is that women are invisible significant actors in the horticulture industry in Kenya but are shockingly rather employed on casual basis or on short seasonal contracts. This study offers new knowledge on gender and entrepreneurship as a crucial area for understanding societal dynamics hence aid in the process of designing policies that will help in the growth of the sector and contribute towards gender mainstreaming.
