Why are just 12% of Irish farmers women?

Updated / Monday, 8 Mar 2021 09:37 Women tended to be very well-informed about agri-environmental schemes and so on because they were working in the area of agriculture and were able to bring all of that knowledge back to the farm . Photo: Getty Images One of the main reasons is the deeply embedded tradition of fathers passing the land to their sons Culturally, farming is a very male industry, and it s very much the tradition that fathers pass the land to their sons , said Shortall. That is a tradition that goes back hundreds and hundreds of years, and it s very deeply embedded and it s a very big part of men s identity in farming. It s a tradition that has persisted for a long time and is now really starting to be questioned about whether there is time in a very different era of gender equality for such an occupation to continue to be so male-dominated.

Representatives from the Scottish Government-led Women in Agriculture taskforce were asked why they thought NFU Scotland (NFUS) had no female directors on its board during an evidence session to Holyrood’s rural economy and connectivity committee. None of the three taskforce members –Scottish Land and Estates chief executive Sarah-Jane Laing, Easter Ross farmer Anne Rae MacDonald, and Professor Sally Shortall from Newcastle University – were keen to pass judgment on the union’s gender balance.
