This indicator reflects the proportion of female graduates within the fields of Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, and Veterinary studies at the tertiary level, presented as a percentage of the overall graduating cohort in these disciplines. By measuring this metric, we can gain insights into gender representation and equity in specialized education sectors that are pivotal for sustainable development and food security. A higher percentage of female graduates may signify progressive inclusivity and the dismantling of barriers that historically limited women's participation in these traditionally male-dominated fields. Additionally, monitoring this figure over time can reveal trends in educational access and career opportunities for women in vital areas linked to environmental stewardship and agricultural innovation.
