This chapter discusses the issue of sexism faced by female farmers in some countries. It explains that globally, over 40% of farmers are women, but they often face mistreatment and discrimination due to societal expectations of women. The chapter highlights initiatives in Bangladesh and Peru that are helping female farmers earn a fair price for their produce. It also introduces an online app called Farm to Go, which allows farmers to sell their produce anonymously and get a better price.
