Gender discrimination and its impact on income, productivity, and technical efficiency: evidence from Benin. [REVIEW]Florent M. Kinkingninhoun-Mêdagbé, Aliou Diagne, Franklin Simtowe, Afiavi R. Agboh-Noameshie & Patrice Y. Adégbola - 2010 - Agriculture and Human Values 27 (1):57-69.details This paper examines the occurrence and impact of gender discrimination in access to production resources on the income, productivity, and technical efficiency of farmers. Through an empirical investigation of farmers from Koussin-Lélé, a semi-collective irrigated rice scheme in central Benin, we find that female rice farmers are particularly discriminated against with regard to scheme membership and access to land and equipment, resulting in significant negative impacts on their productivity and income. Although women have lower productivity, they are as technically efficient (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
Understanding women’s participation in irrigated agriculture: a case study from Senegal. [REVIEW]Marcia L. Nation - 2010 - Agriculture and Human Values 27 (2):163-176.details As climate change in West Africa poses profound limitations on rainfed agriculture, policymakers and practitioners may again turn to irrigated agriculture to provide food for a growing population. Gendered analyses of irrigation projects reveal that in many cases women’s participation in irrigated agriculture has been limited due to a lack of access to land and water. Past research in the Upper Valley of the Senegal River suggests that variables other than access to land and water condition women’s participation in irrigated (...)

The human dimensions of water saving irrigation: lessons learned from Chinese smallholder farmers.Morey Burnham, Zhao Ma & Delan Zhu - 2015 - Agriculture and Human Values 32 (2):347-360.details Water saving irrigation is promoted as a strategy to mitigate future water stresses by the Chinese government and irrigation scientists. However, the dissemination of WSI in China has been slow and little is understood with respect to why farmers adopt WSI or how WSI interacts with the social and institutional contexts in which it is embedded. By analyzing qualitative data from 37 semi-structured and 56 unstructured interviews across 13 villages in northwest China, this paper examines smallholder farmers’ knowledge and perceptions (...)

Development interventions, changing livelihoods, and the making of female Maasai pastoralists.Elizabeth Edna Wangui - 2008 - Agriculture and Human Values 25 (3):365-378.details The broad objective of this paper is to examine the evolution of gendered aspects of livelihood strategies and their interaction with various development interventions. Central to this is an empirical analysis of gendered divisions of labor in the context of rapidly changing pastoralist livelihoods. The paper begins with a literature review on gender roles in pastoralist societies. Two important gaps in the existing literature are identified. First, studies on gender roles are too often studies on women’s roles as men’s roles (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 3 citations
