Agriculture on Women's Development in Developing Countries Introduction: Agriculture is one of Bangladesh's most important economic drivers. This sector is vital to improving food security, as well as self-sufficiency in agricultural output, rural economic development, and long-term socioeconomic development.

For example, everyone needs to eat, but people eat different foods and get food in different ways. So anthropologists look at how different groups of people get food, prepare it, and share it.
