Empowering women in agricultural education for sustainable rural development

George M. M. Ugbomeh

Department of Vocational Education (Agricultural Science Unit), Delta State University, Abraka, Delta State, Nigeria

In this paper, the three concepts of agricultural education, women empowerment and sustainable rural development are examined, and the strategies of agricultural education for women empowerment and sustainable rural development are discussed. While it can be argued that women are best placed to empower women, others have presented a view that men have a role in their empowerment. Since women in Nigeria make up more than half of the nation's population, their empowerment educationally, socially, politically, and economically would seem to command the efforts of all for a sustainable rural development. Recommendations for a massive agricultural education campaign are suggested.
