The agricultural sector in developed countries has been experiencing a growth in the percentage of women, yet very little economic research documents the role and contribution of farm women across these countries. Through an interdisciplinary systematic literature review of 184 international peer-reviewed, English-language studies between 1970 and 2020 we investigate the economic contribution and visibility of women working in the agricultural sector in the United Kingdom (UK). Differences within farm women as a group are explored and used to develop a framework characterising the different economic classifications of farm women across a spectrum of economic contribution and visibility. A comparison of the economic contributions of farm men and women also reveals key differences between farming practices and outcomes. As such, the study reveals key barriers to women's economic participation and visibility in agriculture to be associated with access to land, education and organisations. These factors are evaluated in the context of wider policy. The outcomes of this study increase understanding of factors shaping women's economic contribution and visibility in UK agriculture and will inform further research investigating female participation in agricultural business management and decision making. As the UK formulates its own domestic agricultural acts, UK-wide research will be needed to inform policy and overcome barriers facing women in farming.

发达国家的农业部门的妇女比例一直在增长，但很少有经济研究记录这些国家农业妇女的作用和贡献。通过对 1970 年至 2020 年间 184 项国际同行评审的英语研究的跨学科系统文献综述，我们调查了在英国（UK）农业部门工作的女性的经济贡献和知名度。探索并使用农场妇女作为一个群体的差异来制定一个框架，该框架描述了农场妇女在经济贡献和知名度范围内的不同经济分类。对农业男性和女性的经济贡献的比较也揭示了农业实践和结果之间的主要差异。因此，该研究揭示了与获得土地、教育和组织有关的妇女参与经济和农业知名度的主要障碍。这些因素是在更广泛的政策背景下进行评估的。这项研究的结果增加了对影响女性在英国农业中的经济贡献和知名度的因素的理解，并将为进一步调查女性参与农业企业管理和决策的研究提供信息。随着英国制定自己的国内农业法案，将需要全英国的研究来为政策提供信息并克服妇女在农业中面临的障碍。这项研究的结果增加了对影响女性在英国农业中的经济贡献和知名度的因素的理解，并将为进一步调查女性参与农业企业管理和决策的研究提供信息。随着英国制定自己的国内农业法案，将需要全英国的研究来为政策提供信息并克服妇女在农业中面临的障碍。这项研究的结果增加了对影响女性在英国农业中的经济贡献和知名度的因素的理解，并将为进一步调查女性参与农业企业管理和决策的研究提供信息。随着英国制定自己的国内农业法案，将需要全英国的研究来为政策提供信息并克服妇女在农业中面临的障碍。
