Women Farmers and Agricultural Innovation: Marital Status and Normative Expectations in Rural Ethiopia
Summary. Marital status significantly shapes women farmers' capacity to innovate in rural Ethiopia. Single women own more land and control production decisions, yet face legal and customary barriers to resource access. Married women innovate successfully only within collaborative spousal relationships. Gender-based violence undermines women's achievements across both groups. Customary norms consistently constrain women's effective land use and agricultural innovation regardless of household headship.
