agricultura, género, inclusión y microfinanzasResumen
Este estudio buscó investigar los desafíos que presentan las mujeres agricultoras en la producción agrícola. Usando un enfoque exploratorio con análisis cualitativo, se obtuvo información que revisó los roles de las mujeres. Este documento tiene como objetivo el impacto de las microfinanzas en la inclusión de género de las mujeres con respecto al desarrollo agrícola. Los hallazgos de la investigación aportan nuevos conocimientos a la teoría de la inclusión de género en la agricultura al proporcionar una comprensión clara de cómo el acceso a los microcréditos influye en el desarrollo de las mujeres. Este estudio concluye que las mujeres juegan roles significativos en la producción agrícola a través de la agricultura rural y de pequeña escala. Sin embargo, el ímpetu demostrado que tienen las mujeres en la producción agrícola rural es plagado de diversos desafíos que, en diferentes combinaciones, limitan su plena participación.
