Chapter 7: Technological Horizon: Women in Jordanian Agriculture: Leveraging Innovation for a Competitive Edge

In today's world, technology is at the forefront of the new global focus, and it is a key field of interest for countries striving to excellence. Integrating technology into the agricultural sector has the potential to significantly improve progress toward sustainable development goals. This study investigates how applying technology and sustainability to agriculture can influence women's roles in this sector in Jordan. We examine the impacts of technological implementation, including access to information, economic empowerment, skill development, and environmental impact, as well as the challenges such as financial barriers, limited land access, and cultural constraints. Our findings highlight the importance of the government and major organizations in facilitating the use of technology through training programs and financial support for farmers. We recommend implementing project ideas that promote technological advancement in agriculture, such as our proposed project “HASSAD,” which aims to increase technology adoption among farmers while also providing additional services. By supporting these initiatives, we can promote economic growth while also empowering women in agriculture, resulting in a more sustainable and inclusive agricultural sector.
