Agriculture is a major economic activity in Africa, contributing on average 15% of gross domestic product (GDP), although this varies widely across the continent, from 2.5% in South Africa to 56% in Sierra Leone (Palacios-Lopez et al., 2017). The sector employs about 65% of the labor force and is the main income-generating activity for many (Kamara et al., 2019). In Africa, more than 70% of farmers are small-scale or smallholder farmers, mainly engaged in subsistence agriculture. In SSA, 80% of agricultural production is by smallholder farmers based in rural areas, most of whom are women (https://www.farmafrica.org/what-we-do-1/women-in-the-field).
