Rethinking the feminization of agriculture through translocality
Male out-migration from rural areas shifts intra-household relations, with consequences for gendered power dynamics. Left behind women in rural migrant-sending communities are assumed to take on greater roles in agricultural production, a process known as the feminization of agriculture.

Addressing this gap is important for developing a holistic understanding of human mobility patterns and effectively mitigating experiences of distress migration among populations experiencing marginalisation. This qualitative study explored (im)mobility aspira…
