I plan on adding different regions to the post such as Ireland and Afghanistan, also to supplement the section on Africa specifically in western Africa.

Ireland would go under the european and i will just expand on the african section, the afganistan section would be made into a new section all together.

Ireland-Notes

According to the Journal of Rural Studies, in Ireland 2/3 of all farmland is family owned and has been in the family for more than a century and out of those farms 12% are owned by women. Men still hold the Productive roles on the farm and women typically hold the Reproductive roles on the farm due to the farm being passed down from father to son. However, even though the farms still hold patriarchal norms, the data collected in the study conducted by Cush, Macken Walsh, and Byrne showed that even though the man may own the farm the women and the men are considered business partners which gives women recognition.

Ireland Edit

Two thirds of farmland in Ireland is family owned and run for typically over a century. Out of that twelve percent of which are owned by women. Typically men hold more of the productive roles involving the operation and maintenance of the farm while the women hold reproductive roles and tend to the household. Historically this has given most of the power to the male. In Katie Barclay's "Place and Power in Irish Farms at the End of the Nineteenth Century" most of the leverage for decision making would be the use of the houses spaces such as the kitchen as a tool to negotiate for power within the farm. However in recent years, women are viewed as a legal business holder giving them increasing recognition on the farm enabling them to have input on crucial decisions. (Cush, Macken-Walsh, Byrne 2018)

In the article by Roisin Kelly and Sally Shortall (December, 2002), it discusses how due to decreasing income from farming in northern Ireland the women typically get a job outside of the farm to support the farm. This financial move is often times in order to preserve the farm during rough financial times.
