Maize, Migration and Gender Dynamics in Nepal

Hom Nath Gartaula (2024)

The gender dimension of the maize-based farming system is extremely important. The phenomenon of male out-migration has greatly impacted the dynamics of agricultural labor, leading to more complex gender roles and relationships within households. It is worth noting that almost 90% of migrants are men, which means that women, the elderly, and children are left to handle agricultural and household responsibilities. The feminization of agriculture has been a subject of research for quite some time, but there is a significant lack of research studies focusing on the critical issues surrounding maize cultivation in the current scholarship of agricultural R4D in South Asia. This research aims to fill this knowledge gap by examining the gendered relationship between maize producers and labor out-migration in Nepal's three agro-ecological regions, namely the mountain, hill, and terai areas.

Gender, rainfall endowment, and farmers’ heterogeneity in wheat trait preferences in Ethiopia

Hom Nath Gartaula Moti Jaleta (2024)

Wheat is a vital cereal crop for smallholders in Ethiopia. Despite over fifty years of research on wheat varietal development, consideration of gendered trait preferences in developing target product profiles for wheat breeding is limited. To address this gap, our study used sex-disaggregated survey data and historical rainfall trends from the major wheat-growing regions in Ethiopia. The findings indicated heterogeneity in trait preferences based on gender and rainfall endowment. Men respondents tended to prefer wheat traits with high straw yield and disease-resistance potential, while women showed a greater appreciation for wheat traits related to good taste and cooking quality. Farmers in high rainfall areas seemed to prioritize high straw yield and disease resistance traits, while those in low rainfall areas valued good adaptation traits more highly. Most of the correlation coefficients among the preferred traits were positive, indicating that farmers seek wheat varieties with traits that serve multiple purposes. Understanding men's and women's preferences and incorporating them in breeding and seed systems could contribute to the development of more targeted and effective wheat varieties that meet the diverse needs of men and women farmers in Ethiopia.
