Abstract: Agriculture sector employs 80% of all economically active women in India; they comprise 33% of the agriculture labor force and 48% of the self-employed farmers. In India, 85% of rural women are engaged in agriculture, yet only about 13% own land. This paper addresses women's empowerment in agriculture, innovations in its measurement, and emerging evidence. We discuss the evolution of the conceptualization and measurement of women's empowerment and gender equality. Using a gender and food systems framework and a standardized measure of women's empowerment. The women constitute almost half of the work force engaged in agriculture. The rural women participate in a broad range of agricultural activities such as production, processing preservation and utilization of food. They play a key role in the entire food system starting from the selection of seeds, sowing, manuring, drying, storing and feeding the family from the harvested product. Even though women contribute 60 to 80 per cent of the labor in agriculture and animal husbandry, their involvement in selection of suitable crops and adoption of innovative and good management practices, is very low. The major reasons may be the limited role of women in decision making in agricultural land production, gender discrimination in the land, lack of awareness about the new technologies in agriculture and the poor access to female extension professionals for consultation about their farm lands. Various aspects relating to women empowerment, role of women in innovation system and decision making, contribution of women towards household nutritional security and the way forward for actions to be taken on priority are suggested in this paper.
