• The number of women farmers, market growers and gardeners is increasing
  • Virtually all available tools and equipment were designed for men
  • On average, women have 40-75% less upper-body strength than men, and 5-30% less lower-body strength. We also have smaller hands, which means smaller grips, and are generally shorter than men
  • When women use tools designed for men, we are at elevated risk for injuries and accidents
  • Farming / gardening is hard work; the right tools can make it easier
