三、任务型阅读(请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填上一个最恰当的词)
How Female Farmers Are Feeding the World
The exact data on women in agriculture is difficult to pin down. There are variations between countries and
agriculture data is challenging to collect. What is clear, however, is that most small-scale farmers are women,
making up 60-80 percent of farmers in developing countries. The FAO(Food and Agriculture Organization of the
UN)estimates that between 43 percent to even 70 percent of agricultural labor in some countries comes from women.
But women still don’t have the same rights as men when it comes to farming, making food production harder
for women because of gender inequality. For female farmers, it is unquestionably a challenging job to engage in food production.
In the first place, purchasing land, farming equipment and hiring labor can be expensive. These costs are even
harder on women because many of them lack access to credit. In nearly 48 economies women face legal restrictions
to having control of their own finances.
Getting to the bank is hard too. Mobility for women in rural parts of developing countries is a big concern.
Better transportation and infrastructure could help make access to credit more practicable for women. Credit and
finance should be equal for everyone, especially women who are held back by gender restrictions.
Sadly, women may run the world, but they do not own it. Women are virtually denied property rights.
Traditional customs in place can pass down land through the male side of the family, leaving women out of land
rights completely. Other times, women need permission from a male relative or husband to own land.
It has been apparent that women are not as productive farmers as men and work longer hours in some
countries like Indonesia. This is largely due to a lack of education. When education is considered more valuable for
men (and thus mainly given to men), women farmers are less informed about the best production methods, thus
producing less yield in crops and becoming “less productive”. This can all be changed through providing education
for women. Removing gender inequality can help feed 130 million people who are currently undernourished.
Despite these barriers, women are definitely not leaving the “field”. In countries experiencing urban growth,
men are migrating to urban areas for other jobs while women stay in rural areas, taking on jobs in farming and
agriculture. Healthier children, education, and investment into the community are all benefits that female farmers
are shown to have on their communities.
Let’s close the gender gap and give women the tools they need to succeed. If women farmers in developing
countries have the same rights and opportunities, they will be just as productive. With increasing population, and
the need for better food security, supporting women in agriculture is something that cannot afford not to be invested in. Women running

There is a new trend that an increasing number of college students are willing to work as volunteers in their
