What influences women’s participation in water governance? Learning from polder zones of Bangladesh
Looking at gender is not enough—How diversity of farmers’ marginalization relates to varietal trait preferences
Improved crop varieties help farmers adapt to changing climate and socioeconomic challenges. They are essential for meeting the global food demand, but their adoption remains slow and low.

Do gender dynamics in intra-household decision making shift with male migration? Evidence from rice-farming households in Eastern India

In line with government strategy, multiple actors took part in a forage development programme for six years (2004–09) in Alaba Special District, in southern Ethiopia. This paper analyses the six-year forage development programme, comparing its two phases, from an innovation systems perspective to identify best practices. The study show…
