How does gender affect the adoption of agricultural innovations? The case of improved maize technology in Ghana
Summary. Men and women in Ghana adopt improved maize varieties and chemical fertilizer at different rates. The difference stems from unequal access to complementary inputs like land, labor, and extension services, not from inherent gender preferences. Policymakers can increase equitable technology adoption by improving women's access to these inputs rather than overhauling agricultural research systems.
