Abstract
The presentation reviews two projects that focus on integrating gender considerations in agricultural research with specific research on gender interventions. Some approaches used are: Farmer Field Schools; Mother-Baby Trials; Primary & Secondary Participatory Agricultural Technology Evaluation (PPATEs, SPATEs) & Participatory Action Learning and Research (PLAR). Women face a number of disadvantages, such as limited mobility and access to productive resources. Women tend to lose income and control as a product moves from the farm to the market. Men take over when there is income to be generated from women’s productivity.
