A feminist political ecology of agricultural innovations in smallholder farming systems: Experiences from wheat production in Morocco and Uzbekistan
Summary. Women farmers in Morocco and Uzbekistan adopt improved wheat varieties at lower rates than men due to gendered roles, household dynamics, and broader agricultural economics. The study of 574 farmers across seven communities shows that introducing new seed varieties alone cannot solve farming challenges without addressing the socio-cultural factors that shape who controls agricultural decisions and resources.
