Valuing sustainability in aquaculture
Shifting the aquaculture regime toward gender equity? Case studies of women’s entrepreneurial niche innovations in Bangladesh
Efforts to promote women’s participation, benefits, and empowerment in aquaculture entrepreneurship face persistent challenges rooted in patriarchal norms, policy frameworks, and local contexts.

To do so, we employ the multi-level perspective (MLP) framework, which examines women’s entrepreneurial “niches” in relatio…
What explains the gender differences in the adoption of multiple maize varieties? Empirical evidence from Uganda and Tanzania
Understanding the process that underpins the effective and equitable adoption of modern crop varieties remains an imperative for agricultural development in Africa. This study examines gender differences in adoption rates and determinants of the decision to adopt drought-tolerant (DT) and non-drought-tolerant (ND) maize varieties, based on analysis of maize production data from Tanzania and Uganda. Applying a switching regression with multinomial…

The study shows that AIP activities in Rwanda are contributing to the achievement of gender mainstreami…
