A major global challenge in food and agriculture is ensuring food security for a growing population while minimising environmental degradation. Addressing this issue requires sustainable practices and climate resilience. Innovative technologies like precision farming play a key role in achieving these goals. Rural communities form the backbone of agriculture, serving as the backbone of food production through their traditional knowledge, labour, and stewardship of natural resources, while also driving innovation and sustainability in farming practices. According to the FAO (2020), women account for approximately 43% of the global agricultural workforce, highlighting their significant contribution to food production and rural economies. This study explores the challenges women face in the agricultural sector. Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) techniques have been employed to analyze the challenges women face in selecting agriculture as their main source of income. This study focused on a selected group of 65 women in agriculture, collectively known as the “Krishikootam” meaning farming collective (a group of individuals or a community engaged in collective agricultural activities, often with the aim of promoting sustainable farming practices, sharing resources, and enhancing productivity).Through the application of participatory techniques, including problem tree analysis, focus group discussions, resource mapping, seasonal calendars, SWOT analysis, and priority ranking, key challenges in agriculture were identified and analysed. Based on these insights, technology-driven solutions are proposed to address critical concerns, particularly in irrigation management and adaptation to climate challenges.
