dc.description.abstractUnequal power relations between men and women influence the adoption and impact of new agricultural technologies at the household level, therefore efforts were made to ensure initiatives intervened in a gender-just manner. Due to this study implementation, household awareness of aflatoxins and their management increased among women from 36% (2015) to 99% (2016). Such knowledge has reduced fungal outbreaks during storage from 44% to 6%. Hermetic metal silos are cylindrical structures constructed from galvanized iron sheets and hermetically sealed. The technology eliminates oxygen, thereby killing insect pests. Hermetic bags are made from multi-layer recyclable polyethylene plastic.en
