Overview

Qualitative research reveals gender dynamics impact decision-making in crop farming, suggesting the need for advocacy on women's rights.

Key Points

  • Gender transformative agro-ecological interventions improve collective labor practices, yet traditional gender roles persist, limiting women's participation.
  • In-depth interviews and focus groups with 58 farmers revealed that decision-making remains male-dominated despite some shifts towards shared responsibilities.
  • Access to land significantly influences autonomy, as entrenched patriarchal norms continue to favor male land ownership and control.
  • Targeted educational initiatives and advocacy for women's land rights are essential to challenge systemic inequalities in farming practices.
