\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Traditional farmers currently produce \mbox{90\,\%} of food in Africa and around half of all food worldwide. Also, across the developing world, women account for 60 to \mbox{80\,\%} of the traditional farmers. However, agricultural policies are simply not supporting traditional farmers, most especially in the developing nation. Even where traditional farmers do get support, a huge gender gap exists in terms of what women receive in relation to men. Although a justice and human rights issue in its own right, the gender gap in agricultural support also has a devastating impact on poverty, hunger and economies at large across the developing world. Hence, this study explored the state of gender equity as well as its inclusion in traditional agriculture while also considering its attendant implication for food security in Akinyele Local Government Area (LGA) of Oyo State. Qualitative and quantitative research methods using structured questionnaire and focused group discussions as instruments were adopted for the study. Data generated were analysed using descriptive (Frequency and Percentage Tables and Charts) and inferential statistics (Chi"=square and Cross Tab Analysis at $\alpha$0.05). The study established the importance of women in traditional agriculture. It also identified key challenges such as adequate access to agricultural inputs, loan access, seedling, farm implements subsidy among women farmers and therefore recommended a more gender"=sensitive approach to government policy formulation on intervention in traditional agriculture. Also, regular monitoring and evaluation of agricultural intervention programmes is imperative towards ensuring adequate protection of the rights of women in traditional agriculture if food security is to be guaranteed in the study area.}
