Abstract
Women play a vital and indispensable role in the advancement of agriculture. Women’s participation in agriculture varies significantly across different regions, both in terms of their role and level of engagement. This study used the SPAR-4-SLR framework as a methodological approach to improve the thoroughness and comprehensiveness of the literature assessment over the past 50 years. The previous studies were lag to use R software to ensure an organized investigation of agricultural women’s perspectives from 1974 to 2024. This methodology enables a comprehensive and measurable evaluation of research patterns, frequencies of keywords, and contributions from various countries, with citation analysis providing a more empirical understanding of the topic. The study investigates the relationship between gender relations, women’s status, and employment in relation to the social, economic, demographical, and technical components of agricultural development across globe. There was less research on examining the allocation of available resources, decision-making capacities, and obstacles to the adoption of technology. The Europe and the United States of America adopted Industry 5.0 in agriculture, whereas research on other countries are spares. Researchers rarely investigate themes such as gender inequity, women’s empowerment in rural areas, food security, alternative agriculture, and agriculture diversification in countries like India, Uganda, Malawi, and Bangladesh. The future research questions aim to promote women’s empowerment and attain sustainable development in developed, developing and underdeveloped countries. The methodological approach, analysis tools, and comprehensive, nuanced exploration of the multifaceted role of women in agriculture and related fields across different global contexts anchor the novelty.
Keywords: Agriculture, Gender Disparities, Industry 5.0, Women Employment, Women Status.
