Japanese farmers, circa 1914–1918.
Japanese farmers, c. 1914–1918

Women have always been active in agriculture in Japan. Women farmers have, throughout Japan's history, outnumbered male farmers.[1] Traditionally, women farmers in Japan did farm work and cared for other members of the family. Some held part-time jobs and then came home to do farm work. Most farmland in Japan is used by small family farms, though other types of agricultural collectives are appearing in the country. The Japanese government has been active in encouraging women to go into agriculture in the early 21st century.
