Abstract

Abstract: The rural woman contributes to the food security of her family, the community and her locality. The objective of this work was to identify the role of rural women in agriculture and natural resources in the Province of El Oro, Portovelo Canton, Morales and Curtincapac. The methodology used was through the application of semi-structured surveys with several questions on the activities of women at home and in the community, on climate change and on the development of agricultural and livestock activities. Women carry out multiple activities at home and in the fields, mainly childcare; They are also interested in implementing their entrepreneurship through training. Their contribution in the various activities is little recognized, which is why greater equity and participation of women are sought.
