Why should invisible labour of women in agriculture be recognized?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because they contribute to tasks such as seed sorting, food processing and care work
Women in farming families often contribute through seed sorting, support in sowing and transplanting, post-harvest processing, animal care and food preparation. Much of this work is unpaid, so it may not appear in official records or decisions. Recognising it helps in properly valuing their real contribution and rights in agriculture. Option B is incorrect because their work supports agricultural production. Exam tip: invisible labour means useful work that is often unpaid or not formally recognised.
