Gender Equality: A Pillar for Sustainable Agriculture Future in Farmer Producer Companies in India

This study investigates survival and growth of Indian Farmer Producer Companies (FPCs) within the prism of gender equality. In introduction: Rural development and sustainable agricultural practices depend on farmers' cooperative organizations (FPCs), which are becoming ever more important. Said another way, little research has been done on how gender inclusiveness affects the resilience and effectiveness of FPC operations. This paper closes this gap by looking at how women's active participation in FPC decision-making and leadership roles improves its sustainability and effectiveness.
            This study looked at the gendered elements of FPC sustainability, pointed up obstacles to women's involvement, and developed subtle inclusion rules. Women enhance governance, resource management, and decision-making as FPC members, the study noted. Women leaders boost agricultural output, community involvement, and resource allocation, therefore fostering long-term FPC sustainability.
