Gender sensitivity in farming extension and practices is a crucial area which affects individuals of all hikes in life. It requires gender equity, gender functions and further implies that roles shouldn't be ascribed for instance on the females by itself, or maybe the males entirely because this will amount to create to the improvement of agriculture. It implies that priorities, needs, and the interests of both men and women are taken into account, recognizing the variety among various groups of females and males.

This training highlights some gender associated problems and also presents techniques for meeting them. We explore different ways of shipping of agricultural extension products in a way that increases gender equitable service provision.
