First, high female participation combined with low technology, secondary labor and cultural prohibitions on women's work outside the home; and thirdly, sharing of agricultural work between women and men with intensive cultivation. Although this classification helps to highlight the role of women in agriculture, women's roles are broader than the classification put forward by Apusigah above. The role of the rural woman of the North East is evident in the first category, while the third category does not fall under the role of women. The second categorization is applicable and corresponds to women's work and their roles and contributions on farms, presented as appreciation instead of being recognized as work. Apusigah (2009) and Ellis (2000) both conclude that gender inequalities are evident in the agricultural practices of women in the Global South. They further note that women's efforts in agriculture are not accompanied by ownership and control of land or decision-making capabilities, all of which are firmly rooted in male domains. This conclusion drawn by the two authors corresponds to the reality of the farmer in the North-East, she is versatile and plays no active role in decision-making in agricultural or other matters..
