Women, face a number of interlinked constraints that reduce their agricultural productivity and their ability to use natural resources and sustainably contribute to food production. As a result of this scenario, enhancing food production through gender equality and equity as a means of promoting food security and reduce poverty has been a challenge in Africa. This discussion attempt to explore ways in which gender equality and equity can be achieved in food production.The role of education and training for women, and access to appropriate technology by women in food production are discussed and challenges highlighted as means of promoting food security and reduce poverty. Planning for women’s education and training does, in fact, improve the likelihood that women contribute fully to food production, as a result improving households standard of living. Technology may be quite useful in increasing productivity, however access to technology depends on availability and women’s resources to purchase such technologies. As women generally have less access to cash and credit, they are less likely to purchase new technologies. Overall, some of the issues of concern to women as food producers are the lack of access to technical training and appropriate technology, in addition to lack of access and control over land, financial resources and cash income. Assisting women in acquiring and use of new technologies in food production is fundamental to agricultural and rural development in Africa. Therefore, with a view to highlighting some of the constraints and enhancing women's capacities in food production , this review will look at lack of education, training and technology as some of the major factors and constraints affecting women's roles in food production.
