Despite glorifying agriculture, the small farmer is not without challenges.
"The biggest challenge is, as a woman you may not be given the same platforms and access as men in the same line. Mostly women are assumed to offer labour, but men own land and make decisions," Simiyu says.
While urban women have only recently started kitchen gardening and farming, for women in rural areas, farming is the business of the day.
Munene says the limited capital and labour intensity of farming is a challenge for her.
Women are valuable in the agricultural value chain, Simiyu says, noting that women have diverse perspectives, innovative solutions, and unique skill sets.
"They often have a deep understanding of local ecosystems and community dynamics, which can lead to more sustainable farming practices," she says.
Additionally, women are frequently involved in seed selection, crop diversification, and small-scale farming initiatives, all of which play crucial roles in food security and environmental conservation.
"Moreover, empowering women in agriculture can lead to increased household income and improved nutrition for families," says Simiyu.
Farming has been depicted as a role for the old men and women in rural areas to practice. Munene says this is a stereotype of farming.
"I defy the stereotype by illuminating the vibrant tapestry of modern agriculture. Through relentless pursuit of knowledge, I transform farming into a thrilling journey of discovery and prosperity," says Munene.
While women are known to bring the family together, especially through food, Munene advises that learning to conduct farming profitably to make money out of farming is very vital.
"As a young woman with a growing family, my favourite part of my day is sitting with my family around hot, delicious food, part of which has been harvested fresh from the farm," he says.
Another farmer, Muthoni Karume from Njemu farm, says she drew her inspiration from watching her uncle fetch large proceeds from pig farming.
For her, pig farming is a passion "and also self-time management as it gives me more time to be near kids and earn income".
Muthoni who trains and coaches women and youth, on profitable pig farming, says she did Accounting, which helps her manage her accounts.
Mercy Limbua supports the agriculture food chain, her commitment to food safety and security was sparked in 2011 during the Kenyans for Kenyans campaign.
Mercy believes food safety and quality have a big role to play in attaining food nutrition and security.
For the longest time, farming has been perceived as a dirty job for all, not just women.
"I find it ironic to say that farming is dirty, yet it is through farming that we acquire food to eat, earn some income, and educate our children.
"Women do not look down on farming as being dirt because if they do their families would perish to hunger, thus they have continued to embrace farming," says Mercy, lauding the move by women doing farming regardless of the size of land.
"I find farming amazing, and not just cool," she says, adding that people - especially the youth have shied away from farming to pursue white-collar jobs."
Mercy believes that women should identify what they can offer in the value chain as opportunities are not gender specific.
"I found my niche in food safety and that is what I do best in this space, someone else has their niche in ICT and they are thriving in it," she says.
As a player in the agriculture value chain, the Food Science and Technology graduate says the potential of women in farming is limited by factors such as access to land.
Like Simiyu, she has observed that most of the lands are owned by men and very few of them allow their women to fully utilise the land, "and if they do, they do now have say or control on what to do or manage the farm thus their potential limited".
"Access to finance, especially for farming is another challenge with institutional financiers like banks and, microfinance, as the women do not have collateral like title deeds," she says, adding that high interest rates in financing block women's access to finance.
According to Mercy, women have been limited from engaging with the outside world in production activities like farming based on a stereotype that they are caregivers and not providers.
"Despite progress made by women, agriculture continues to be a male-dominated industry, most notably in principal producer roles. This lack of authority prevents women from having the voice they need to positively shape the industry," Mercy says.
Mercy says that women tend to engage more in environmentally-conscious practices, and that many are likely to explore farm-based side businesses.
