Exploring the role of Women On-Farm Sustainable Dairy Practices in District Okara

Abstract

The crucial role that women play in advancing sustainable dairy practices on farms in District Okara, Pakistan is a region known for its livestock and agricultural production is examined in this review paper. Through their participation in routine agricultural tasks, animal husbandry, and milk production, women in rural Pakistan especially in Okara make a substantial contribution to the dairy industry. In addition to managing the family and the financial aspects of dairy farming, their duties frequently involve feeding, milking, and overseeing the health of the animals. In spite of these efforts, women's contributions are still not given enough credit in the larger agricultural discourse. In order to improve farm production and environmental sustainability, this article looks at important sustainable techniques that women use, such as effective feed management, water saving, waste recycling, and disease control. The study also addresses the obstacles women encounter in gaining access to technology, education, and decision-making platforms, which restricts their ability to embrace more sophisticated sustainable practices. In order to empower female farmers as important contributors to the sustainable growth of the dairy industry, the assessment urges increased assistance for them through resource access, policy interventions, and capacity building. A well-Structured questionnaire will be designed in order to collect the data. The collected data will be analyzed by using computer software Special Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS).
