Austin-Evelyn, Katherine2013-11-292013-11-292011-06http://hdl.handle.net/10625/52218Many visions for agricultural development are not drawn up by African voices, nor take into account developing countries’ experience with the first Green Revolution. Rural women in Africa produce 80% of the food, yet own 1% of the land, receive 7%of the agricultural extension services and less than 10% of the credit given to small-scale farmers. This paper scrutinizes the marginalization of women through neglect of women’s agricultural knowledge systems, and the support of programs that focus instead on cash crops. There are promising developments to address these structural issues from within the women’s farming movement itself.1 digital file (4 p.)application/pdfenGREEN REVOLUTIONWOMEN IN AGRICULTUREFOOD SOVEREIGNTYGENETICALLY MODIFIED SEEDSAFRICAGENDERSEED COLLECTIONKeepers of seed : the impact of the ‘Green Revolution’ in Africa on female farmersMedia Article
