Description Agricultural and natural resource management
innovations have often been introduced, promoted and
adopted among local communities / farmers. However,
how the innovation process is perceived by men and
women, the relationships involved, the distribution of
benefits and the differing capacities of women and men
to take advantage of the new opportunities in agriculture
are not always carefully thought-out. This study examined
both community and individual men and women's experiences with agricultural innovations and practices
and how these interactions support or hinder the
achievement of agricultural innovations across various
contexts. By providing robust empirical evidence on the
relationship between gender norms, agency and
agricultural innovation, the study revealed that sociocultural
structures and household dynamics chiefly shapes
how
individuals negotiate for space, freedom, resources
and
the capacities needed to innovate.
