Making room for manoeuvre: addressing gender norms to strengthen the enabling environment for agricultural innovation

L.B. Badstue, Marlène Elias, Víctor Kommerell, Patti Petesch, Gordon Prain, Rhiannon Pyburn, Anya Umantseva · 2020 · Development in Practice

Summary. Gender norms significantly shape whether agricultural innovation succeeds or fails at the local level, yet development research has largely overlooked them. Drawing on the GENNOVATE research initiative, the authors show that gender norms interact with individual agency to determine agricultural outcomes. Effective agricultural development requires explicitly addressing these norms and challenging underlying inequality structures, not just focusing on policies, markets, and institutions.
