Integrating gender in forage systems research

Abstract

Gender is crucial for research on forages. We need to look at at gender aspects of forage production, such as labour-conservation techniques that may affect women and youth the most. Women and youth may have opportunities in feed processing and in forage-seed production. We also need to understand how technology changes affect gender relations. Once a technology becomes more commercially oriented, gender roles may be affected, resulting in unexpected or undesirable effects.
