Description:Farming systems research and extension (FSR/E) methodology has several phases (pre-diagnostic, diagnostic, technology design, testing, and dissemination) that should include information about the sexual division of labor, resource allocation, income generation, and knowledge of farming practices; yet gender is often left out of FSR/E by both researchers and extensionists. FSR/E practitioners usually rely on extensionists to locate, interview, and select trial cooperators. The extension staff members, who tend to be predominantly men, target male farmers for these and other extension activities. Therefore, there are very few women extensionists -- women who are not trained, who are concentrated in the lower ranks, and who tend to be assigned to home economics rather than to agricultural programs. A case study from Malawi shows that it was uncommon for women to be included in FSR/E work as trial farmers or in recommendation domains. The Women in Agricultural Development Project conducted diagnostic surveys and trials that included women. It found that women could carry out trials, that they had specific problems that needed attention, that in one situation women tended to be low-resource farmers and fell into a separate recommendation domain from high-resource farmers and fell into a separate recommendation domain from high-resource male farmers, and that male researchers and extensionists could work with women farmers. Subsequently, an extension circular (Appendix A) was prepared that legitimized male extensionists' work with women farmers and suggested techniques for their doing so. Female extensionists also were encouraged to have more agricultural training and to work with women on agricultural topics.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
