In Bangladesh, there’s an app helping female farmers to get a fairer price for their crop.
At the market, women farmers often face sexism, and struggle to sell their produce for what it’s worth. But by making the seller anonymous, they’re able to sell more and reap the profit they deserve.
We’ll also hear from other projects around the world trying to bridge the gender gap in agriculture- and investigate how supporting female farmers doesn’t just help with reducing inequality – it can also help fight poverty, hunger and climate change.
Also on the programme - a remote control for cows and goats which lets farmers control them with virtual fences on their phone.
