Abstract:
Indonesia tried to cultivated wheat since 2000. Characteristics of Indonesia as a tropical country caused the productivity of wheat crops was relatively lower than the productivity of sub-tropical wheat cultivation. The development of wheat cultivation was carried out in various regions, including in Central Java Province. Several institutions had participated to introduce the wheat cultivation in Central Java province. This study explores the farmer perceptions on wheat farming and correlation between internal driver and external driver and farmer's perception on wheat farming, and the correlation between farmer perception toward farmer motivation to cultivate wheat. This research used survey technique to collect primary data from farmers who get involved on wheat cultivation introduction program. Data analysis techniques were used rank spearman correlation analysis. The study showed that respondents in Demak Regency tend to have the perception that wheat cultivation is very unprofitable, not easily cultivated and has a high risk of crop failure. Respondents in Boyolali tend to have the perception that wheat is easily cultivated, but has a high risk of crop failure and high selling prices. Respondents in Klaten Regency tend to have the perception that wheat cultivation is not profitable and has a high risk of crop failure, but has a high selling price. There is no significant relationship on age, education, farming experience, frequency of extension, and farm environmental conditions on farmers' perceptions. There are significant relationship between farmer status, land area, with farmers’ perception on wheat cultivation, and the farmers perception had relation with farmers motivation to cultivate wheat

Abstract:
Farmers' perception toward a program is the primary basis for their willingness to participate in the program. The objectives of the research are: (1) to know the perception level of farmers in the palm oil plantation cooperatives, (2) to analyse the correlation between internal and external factors with farmers perception. The study was conducted on May 2018 in Kongbeng Sub District of East Kutai District. The sample size is 66 farmers who are a member of a cooperative and cultivate palm oil on his land. The analysis used is descriptive statistics and Rank Spearman correlation. The results showed that the perception of farmers about the existence of cooperatives in community palm oil plantations in the form of cooperative benefits and the implementation of cooperatives are in a good category. Internal factors are significantly related to the perception of farmers only at the level of formal education in the benefits of cooperatives. Other internal factors have no relationship with the perception of farmers. Most of the external factors are highly correlated with farmers' perceptions of partnership support, farmer group support, extension support, and local government support.

Abstract:
Environmental concerns, increase labour cost and increase in demand for food has urged farmer to use the most economic and concomitant method to their farming objectives. Therefore, this study focused on ascertaining maize farmer&rsquo;s perceptions on the weed control methods they choose and the socio-economic characteristics that determine these perceptions. This study was conduct countrywide in the four agro-ecological zones of Eswatini. Primary data was collected from 240 randomly selected maize farmers in the four Agro-ecological Zone of Eswatini. Factor analysis was used to estimate principal components about farmer&rsquo;s perception on the different weed control methods. Multiple regression method was used to ascertain the socio-economic factors determining farmers&rsquo; perceptions. Farmers were interviewed about their perception on the usage of herbicides and integrated weed control method. The five likert scale of attitudinal statements related to herbicide and integrated weed control methods was developed. Four principal components were generated by the analysis from the positive attitudinal statement on the use of herbicides. These include productivity and economical, inclusive and confidence, knowledgeable and readiness, environmental impact. Farmer perceived that herbicides are associated with increased productive, can be used with confidence, farmers were ready to use herbicides, on the other hand, farmers perceived herbicides to have a negative impact on the environment. The socio-economic drivers of these farmers&rsquo; perceptions included sex of the farmer, education level, farming experience, access to agricultural trainings, amount of farm incomes and group membership. Integrated weeding method (hand hoe weeding + herbicide use) was perceived to be labour saving, productive and has no harm on the environment. The socio-economic drivers of these farmers&rsquo; perception towards the use of integrated weed control method included group membership and education. The study recommends that government should increase the number of extension officers to extend extension contact to more farmers, thus improve information sharing to farmers on best agricultural practices. Sensitization workshops, trainings and On-farm demonstration related to the usage of the improved weed control technologies is desired to increase farmers&rsquo; access to knowledge about the use of these improved weeding technologies.

Abstract:
The study was carried out in Banter Hamlet, Gumelem Village, Pakis District, Magelang District. The purpose is to determine the farmers' perceptions about the prevention of Haemonchosis using jackfruit leaves powder and to determine the effect of the counseling intensity and the knowledge level of farmers on farmers' perceptions. A sampling of 32 breeders from Ngudi Rejeki 1 Farmer Group was carried out using census method. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation and interview methods. This study was conducted by descriptive analysis using Likert scale to determine the perception level and path analysis to see the perception effect as an endogenous variable with the counseling intensity and knowledge level as exogenous variables. Based on the study, it can be concluded that the descriptive analysis shows farmers' perceptions about the prevention of Haemonchosis using jackfruit leaves powder is in the agree category. The path analysis shows that the counseling intensity does not have a direct effect on perceptions while indirectly from the counseling intensity through the knowledge level significantly influence the perception, so that the knowledge can be said to mediate the counseling intensity on the perception.

Abstract:
Climate change is the primary challenge of agricultural production in developing and developed countries. Farmers' perception of climate change is the critical driver in encouraging farmers to take autonomous adaptation practices. Thus, this study aimed to identify factors affecting farmers' perception of climate change in developing and developed countries and take Ghana and Switzerland as the study cases. The study used data from 378 cocoa farmers in Ghana and 109 farmers in Switzerland. The data was obtained from a structured interview and survey and contained socio-economic and farm characteristics of farmers. This study employed an ordered probit regression to estimate the factors affecting farmers' perception of climate change. The results show that landholding, farm income, and education significantly affect farmer perception of climate change. Landholding and farm income significantly affect farmer perception of climate change in Switzerland and Ghana. But, education only significantly affects the farmers' perception of climate change in Switzerland. Meanwhile, age and crops/livestock ownership does not significantly affect farmers' perception of climate change in Ghana and Switzerland. The results also show that Switzerland's farmers have a stronger perception of climate change than farmers in Ghana. Keywords: climate risk perception, climate change perception, Ghana, Switzerland

Abstract:
Food security and self-sufficiency in the rural areas has been and remains a major concern for the South African government. The study aimed to investigate farmer’s perception of factors influencing small-scale vegetable production in Tsengiwe village in the Eastern Cape. The research focus was on the following aspects that may have an influence on small-scale vegetable production: socio-economic factors, production and resource deficiencies and the impact of indigenous leafy vegetables. The researcher conducted several demonstration workshops during the field work. The pilot studies and community engagements were essential to extract knowledge systems embedded in the cultural traditions of indigenous or local communities. The action research was part of the reflective process of broadminded problem solving led by researcher and community. The research approach used a triangulation research method to extract information, whereby both quantitative and qualitative research was used to ensure greater accuracy. The main data collection was obtained from interviews with small-scale farming households in the Tsengiwe area. The study revealed that households were dependent on elderly female pensioners to source food and water. These women received most of their income from social grants and were mainly responsible for all farming activities in the households. Most households attempted to produce vegetables, although food security and self-sufficiency through own production was rarely achieved.Other perceived farming challenges included: lack of market accessibility, irrigation infrastructure, drought, financial limitations and soil degradation. Indigenous leafy vegetables were found to play a nutritional role in times of food shortage and not as much for their medicinal value. The study recommended the following interventions: Support for the elderly women in development and production practices, interventions to address factors affecting vegetable production, improving soil structure, working towards food self-sufficiency, moving away from dependence on mechanisation in rural farming.

Full text
Abstract:
In Sri Lanka, two thirds of the land mass lies within the Dry Zone where agriculture is the most important economic activity. In this climatic zone, rainfall is highly uncertain, seasonal, and limited to a few months. Consequently, the farmers in the area have to face drought as a natural hazard. This study focusses on how the farmers in the southern Dry Zone of Sri Lanka perceive drought as a hazard, the adjustments they make to reduce their vulnerability to droughts and how human behaviour affects the growing hazardousness of the study area. The results of this study show that the farmers in the study area have perceived drought as one of their major problems, and that the vulnerability to this natural phenomenon is growing as a result of the power abuse and environmental mismanagement of those high ranking people responsible. However, the farmers’ deeper understanding regarding their living environment (natural and man-made) has enhanced their power to combat the hazardous effects of droughts by way of a variety of adjustments. Considering and studying the above problems and issues the researcher has come to some conclusions and has put forward some suggestions, the most important of which, lie with changing the self-centered attitudes and activities of the powerful people in the direction of a socially and environmentally more sustainable and wholesome path.

Abstract:
Depuis 2002, trois acteurs institutionnels et un acteur économique ont élaboré différentes politiques de développement durable à La Réunion. Avec son agenda 21 et le Plan Réunionnais de Développement Durable, Le Conseil Régional a été le premier à se lancer. Il est suivi en 2004 par le Conseil Général avec le Schéma Départemental d'Aménagement et de Développement Durable, par La Réunion Économique en 2006 avec Réunion Île Verte 2030 et enfin par l'État en 2007 avec GERRI. Cette thèse a pour but de déterminer s'il existe une stratégie de développement durable partagée par l'ensemble des acteurs du territoire réunionnais. Elle ambitionne également d'identifier s'il existe à La Réunion un décalage entre le discours tenu par les différents acteurs autour de la notion de développement durable et les actions entreprises en ce sens. Ces objectifs nous ont conduit à réaliser un bilan des actions engagées à La Réunion afin de rendre raison de l'écart entre discours et réalité, politiques publiques et perceptions d'acteurs dans le champ du développement durable. Pour remplir ces objectifs, le protocole de recherche mis en place se focalisait sur trois acteurs du territoire réunionnais : les acteurs politiques, les acteurs socio-économiques et la population générale. Pour chacun de ces acteurs, l'objectif était d'identifier le type d'actions élaborées dans le cadre du développement durable et de définir les représentations associées. Les acteurs politiques du territoire ont souvent profité de l'ambigüité du concept pour se lancer dans cette démarche, ou à tout le moins dans son volet « communication ». L'expression « développement durable » est réduite par les différents acteurs à la simple protection d'un environnement pouvant rendre des services à la population. Cette adhésion à la « protection de l'environnement » masque donc souvent une vision utilitariste de ce dernier. C'est donc une approche de la durabilité qui pourrait être qualifiée de « faible » et qui semble dominer à La Réunion
Since 2002, three institutionnal players ad an economic player developed different policies for sustainable development in La Reunion. The Regional Council was the first to launch into with its agenda 21 and « Le Plan Réunionnais de Développement Durable ». He was followed by the General Council with the « Schéma Départemental d'Aménagement et de Développement Durable » in 2004, by La Réunion Économique in 2006 with « Reunion ïle Verte 2030 » and finally by the French State in 2007 with GERRI. This thesis aims to determine whether there is a sustainable dévelopment strategy shared by all the local actors. It also aims to identify whether there is a gap between the discourse of different actors about the concept of sustainable development and the action taken. These objectives lead us to take stoke of actions taken in La Reunion to justify the gap between rhetoric and reality, public policy and actor’s perceptions in the field of sustainable development. To fulfill these objectives, the research protocole implemented focused on three actors : political, socio-economic player and the population. For each of these actors, the objectif was to identify the type of action developed in the context of sustainable development and to define the associated representation. political actor have often take advantage of the ambiguity of the concept to engage in this process, or at least in its « communication » component. The concept of sustainable development is reduced to its simple expression of the protection of an environment that should provides services to the population. This adherence to the « environmental protection » hide an utilitarian view of the environment. It’s therefore a sustainability approach that could be described as « weak » and that seems to emerge in La Reunion

Abstract:
Le changement global est un processus complexe englobant des changements environnementaux, climatiques, sociaux, économiques, culturels et politiques. Il a toujours affecté les systèmes agropastoraux du monde entier et compromis leur durabilité, entraînant de profonds changements tels qu’un déclin de la ressource pastorale, du nombre de troupeaux, une tendance au sédentarisme, une diversification des moyens de subsistance et même un abandon d’activités pastorales.Partant de l’hypothèse que les agro-pasteurs de régions différentes font face à des défis similaires et partagent les mêmes contraintes mais que leurs stratégies d’adaptation sont affectées par leur contexte local qui améliore ou affaiblit leur durabilité, ce projet de recherche vise à évaluer la durabilité des systèmes agro-pastoraux au Liban face au changement global.Premièrement, les défis affectant la durabilité des systèmes agro-pastoraux au Liban ont été identifiés à travers une revue de la littérature sur les pâturages et l'usage des terres. Six principaux défis ont été identifiés : i) Manque de politique spécifique au pastoralisme et au régime foncier, ii) Urbanisation et migration rurale, iii) Concurrence de l'agriculture, iv) Déforestation et surpâturage, v) Manque de compétences techniques et de données pour la gestion des parcours et vi) Variabilité climatique.Deuxièmement, la perception du changement des éleveurs de petits ruminants de la Beqaa Ouest a été évaluée et leurs stratégies d’adaptation identifiées. Les contraintes perçues par les pasteurs variaient selon le système de production auquel ils appartenaient et étaient principalement liés à l'accès et la qualité des pâturages, aux incertitudes de marché et politiques, à la variabilité climatique, aux conditions socio-économiques sur l'exploitation et à la santé animale. En l'absence de soutien gouvernemental, les agriculteurs de tous les systèmes ont mis au point des stratégies d'adaptation à court terme qui impliquent plus de temps consacré aux pâturages, davantage de fourrage et une réduction de la taille du troupeau. De plus, le mouvement des troupeaux se limitait aux pâturages autour des villages ce qui témoignait du passage au sédentarisme.Troisièmement, la durabilité des systèmes agro-pastoraux de la Beqaa Ouest et du Chouf a été évaluée à travers l'analyse de la filière du fromage traditionnel «kishk» typiquement préparé avec du lait de chèvre. La production de kishk a été maintenue par les femmes rurales et le kishk s'est révélé être un produit résilient malgré les changements dans les variétés de blé et les fluctuations dans la source et la quantité de lait. Les systèmes de petits ruminants se sont avérés plus résilients que les systèmes de production de blé.Quatrièmement, l’analyse de systèmes de bovins laitiers dans la zone d’étude a pour but de scénariser l'intensification possible pour quelques agro-pasteurs, notamment l'optimisation de l'alimentation, l'utilisation de technologies appropriées, la diversification et accès au marché.Enfin, une analyse comparative a été réalisée entre l’étude de cas libanaise et sept courts métrages filmés dans des zones de parcours contrastées (plateau tibétain, grande prairie canadienne, région bédouine égyptienne, Sahel sénégalais, pampa uruguayenne, Serra Gaucha brésilienne et Provence française). Les propos et contraintes signalées dans les sept films ont été confrontés à ceux du Liban en particulier la variabilité du climat et la nécessité de politiques spécifiques régulant l'utilisation des parcours et valorisant leur diversité.Les agro-pasteurs du monde entier sont confrontés à des forces similaires de changement comme la variabilité climatique, l'inadéquation des politiques et l'avenir incertain de la jeunesse. La mise en oeuvre de politiques pastorales spécifiques intégrant la perception des agro-pasteurs assure l’efficacité de ces politiques et la durabilité de ces systèmes
Global change is a complex process encompassing environmental, climatic, social, economic, cultural and political changes. It has always affected agro-pastoral systems worldwide and compromised their sustainability resulting in tremendous changes of the pastoral systems including a decline in rangeland resources and the number of herds, sedentarism trends, diversification of livelihoods and even abandon of farming activities.Based on the hypothesis that agro-pastoralists in contrasted areas of the world face similar challenges and share same concerns but their adaptive strategies are affected by their local context which either enhances or weakens their sustainability, this research project aims at assessing the sustainability of agro-pastoral systems in Lebanon which are undergoing global forces of changes.First, the challenges affecting the sustainability of agro-pastoral systems in Lebanon have been identified through a review of the literature on pasture and land use in Lebanon. Six main challenges have been identified: i) Lack of policies and laws related to pastoralism and land tenure; ii) Urbanization and rural migration; iii) Encroachment by agriculture; iv) Deforestation and overgrazing; v) Lack of technical skills and data for range management; and vi) Climate variability.Second, the perception of change of small ruminant farmers in the West Bekaa of Lebanon has been assessed and their adaptation strategies identified. The constraints perceived by the farmers varied based on the production system they belonged to and were mainly related to pasture access and quality, market and political uncertainties, climate variability, on-farm socio-economic conditions and animal health. In the absence of government support, farmers from all systems developed short-term adaptive strategies involving more time spent on pastures, more feed supplementation and a decrease in herd size. Moreover, herd movement was limited to the pastures around the villages hence evincing the shift to sedentarism.Thirdly, the sustainability of agro-pastoral systems in the West Bekaa and Chouf was evaluated through the analysis of the value chain of the traditional cheese “kishk” typically prepared with goat milk. Kishk production has been maintained by rural women and kishk proved to be a resilient product despite the changes in wheat varieties and fluctuations in the source and quantity of milk. Small ruminant systems were found to be more resilient than wheat production systems.Fourthly, the dairy bovine systems in the West Bekaa and Chouf-Aley were identified using a system typology, in an attempt to present them as a model for intensification for some agro-pastoralists particularly in feed optimization, use of appropriate technologies, diversification of activities and market access. The dairy bovine system provided an insight for the intensification of the small ruminant sector in Lebanon for those who can afford it.At last, a comparative analysis was done between the Lebanese case-study and seven short movies filmed in contrasted areas of rangelands (Tibetan Plateau, Canadian Great Prairie, Egyptian Bedouin area, Senegalese Sahel, Uruguayan Pampa, Brazilian Serra Gaucha and French Provence). The gaps and challenges reported in the seven movies were found comparable to those identified in Lebanon specifically in regard to climate variability and the need for specific policies that regulate the use of rangelands and valorize their diversity.Agro-pastoralists in Lebanon and around the world are facing similar forces of change namely climate variability, inadequacy of rangeland policies and the uncertain future of youth. The implementation of specific rangeland policies integrating the perception of agro-pastoralists ensures the efficiency of these policies and the sustainability of traditional pastoral systems

Abstract:
The objective of this study is to investigate the degree of risk aversion towards investment in the Quebec hog and dairy sectors. The Direct Elicitation of Utility function was employed to determine producers' degree of aversion to risk. The Delphi technique was also introduced as a means of obtaining more refined and realistic information. The highly diverse risk attitudes which vary between extremely concave and extremely convex utility functions indicate, on average, a slightly risk averse behaviour for both farming groups. Dairy producers have 69% risk-averse, 10% close to risk-neutrality and 21% risk-loving individuals for the $100,000 investment game in the EP format. These figures are respectively 69 %, 6 % and 23 % for hog producers. Hog farmers are found more averse to risk than dairy producers, but more significantly at higher levels of investment. Integrated and non-integrated hog producers do not show any conclusive differences with respect to their risk preferences.

ABSTRACT This is a qualitative field research which has the Cultural Theory as its epistemological axis. Objective: This study aimed to reveal the risk perception of using pesticides in the work activity of fairground rural farmers and students of a Technology Course in Environmental Management in the city of Ara?ua? (MG). Technique and instruments: A semi-structured questionnaire adapted from fast approach type diagnosis was used as a technique for the seizure of the information. For the analysis of the information, simple descriptive statistical analysis and content analysis were performed. The participants were 41 stallholder farmers who commercialized their products at the fair in Ara?ua? and 40 students of the Higher Education Course in Environmental Management. Results and Discussion: It was observed that the definitions of pesticides reported by the participants are in line with Decree n? 4074/2002 which deals with the subject. However, they also identified the use of pesticides as a risk to health and the environment. The main health-related risks, chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular problems and respiratory diseases were mentioned. As the risks to the environment, air pollution, water and flora, water and soil were mentioned. As a source of information regarding pesticides, television, courses taught by non-governmental organizations and by agencies of the state and federal government, as well as life experience, were cited. It was noted that these sources of information influenced the perception of risk and the use of pesticides by the participants. Thus it was revealed that the perception of risk is multidetermined and the educational practices related to health and the environment with programs that stress alternative pest management and safe practices of pesticide use, may be one of the actions that influence the perception of risk about the use of pesticides and therefore, reduce the risk of contamination and health problems.

Abstract:
AbstractUnderstanding the factors influencing the perception of climate change can help improve policies for strengthening the adaptive capacity of pastoralists with regard to climate change. Despite this importance, few studies have focused on this issue, especially among cattle farmers. In order to attempt filling this gap, this study analyzed the determinants of the perception of climate change by cattle farmers distributed in the dry and sub-humid tropical zones of Benin as well as the current adaptation strategies developed by these farmers. For this purpose, surveys were carried out through group discussions and an individual questionnaire administered to 360 cattle farmers in the two climatic zones. The data collected related to the sociodemographic characteristics of cattle farmers and their perception of climate change and adaptation strategies. A binary logit model has identified the factors that influence cattle farmers’ perceptions of climate change. The results of the study showed that cattle farmers perceive a drop in rain (at least 77%), an increase in temperature (at least 80%), and violent winds (at least 60%). Breeding experience, level of education of the farmer, household size, membership of a breeders’ organization, and cattle herd size determine these perceptions. Four major groups of adaptation strategies have been developed by farmers to cope with climate change. These are production adjustment strategies, activity diversification strategies, livestock management strategies, and selection strategies. The political implication of this study is that government and development partners should integrate these factors into projects and programs related to climate change.

Abstract:
AbstractDespite the dissemination of climate information from national meteorological systems, arable farmers still have challenges of dealing with climate-related risks. This study investigated the effect of using indigenous knowledge-based forecasts (IFs) and scientific knowledge-based forecasts (SFs) on the climate change perceptions of arable farmers in the Rwenzori region, Western Uganda. Data on socio-economic characteristics, use of forecasts, and climate change perceptions was collected from 580 arable farmers and the probit model was used in the analysis. The findings indicated that use of IFs only increased the likelihood of perceiving increase in the frequency in occurrences of droughts and floods. Using both SFs and IFs had a significant positive effect on perception of unpredictable rains and the increase in drought incidence among arable farmers. Although forecasts are important drivers of perceptions, other factors, such as gender, social capital, and dissemination of climate change information by radio, enhance climate change perceptions. Active participation of arable farmers in the dissemination of forecasts by national meteorological services could improve perceptions of climate related risks.

Abstract:
AbstractThe impact of climate change, especially on agricultural sector, calls for a global and more localized strategies such as cultivation of underutilized indigenous vegetables (UIVs) which adapt better to local climate change. This chapter, therefore, examines the perception of UIVs farmers to climate change, their experiences of UIVs’ responses to climate change, adaptation strategies employed, and the determinants of the decision to adopt them in Southwest Nigeria. The study uses quantitative and qualitative primary household data from 191 UIVs farmers, 8 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and secondary climate data from the Nigerian Meteorological Agency. Descriptive and econometric analyses are employed in the data analyses. The results show that farmers’ perceptions of climate change are high temperature and a high variability in rainfall pattern that has affected the yield, increased insects, pests, and diseases infestations, and reduced soil fertility. The results further show that the responses of UIVs to these resultant effects differ as such, and adaptation strategies farmers adopt are UIVs-specific. The adaptation strategies mostly employed by the UIVs farmers are cultivating UIVs along the river bank and the least is agroforestry and perennial plantation. The determinants of the decision to adopt adaptation strategies include UIVs revenue, age, years of experience, access to climate information, climate change awareness, agro ecological zone, and access to credit. Thus, promotion of UIVs business is advocated and provision of information on climate change essential and will encourage farmers to adopt appropriate climate change adaptation strategies to boost UIVs business.

Gender mainstreaming in local potato seed system in Georgia. International Potato Center, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.4160/9789290605645.

Full text
Abstract:
This report presents the study findings associated with the project “Enhancing Rural Livelihoods in Georgia: Introducing Integrated Seed Health Approaches to Local Potato Seed Systems” in Georgia. It also incorporates information from the results of gender training conducted within the framework of the USAID Potato Program in Georgia. The study had three major aims: 1) to understand the gender-related opportunities and constraints impacting the participation of men and women in potato seed systems in Georgia; 2) to test the multistakeholder framework for intervening in root, tuber, and banana (RTB) seed systems as a means to understand the systems themselves and the possibilities of improving gender-related interventions in the potato seed system; and 3) to develop farmers’ leadership skills to facilitate women’s active involvement in project activities. Results of the project assessment identified certain constraints on gender mainstreaming in the potato seed system: a low level of female participation in decision-making processes, women’s limited access to finances that would enable their greater involvement in larger scale potato farming, and a low awareness of potato seed systems and of possible female involvement in associated activities. Significantly, the perception of gender roles and stereotypes differs from region to region in Georgia; this difference is quite pronounced in the target municipalities of Kazbegi, Marneuli, and Akhalkalaki, with the last two having populations of ethnic minorities (Azeri and Armenian, respectively). For example, in Marneuli, although women are actively involved in potato production, they are not considered farmers but mainly as assistants to farmers, who are men. This type of diversity (or lack thereof) results in a different understanding of gender mainstreaming in the potato seed system as well. Based on the training results obtained in three target regions—Akhalkalaki, Akhaltsikhe, and Marneuli—it is evident that women are keen on learning new technologies and on acquiring updated agricultural information, including on potato production. It is also clear that women spend as much time as men do on farming activities such as potato production, particularly in weeding and harvesting. However, women are heavily burdened with domestic work, and they are not major decision-makers with regard to potato variety selection, agricultural investments, and product sales, nor with the inclusion of participants in any training provided. Involving women in project activities will lead to greater efficiency in the potato production environment, as women’s increased knowledge will certainly contribute to an improved production process, and their new ideas will help to improve existing production systems, through which women could also gain confidence and power. As a general recommendation, it is extremely important to develop equitable seed systems that take into consideration, among other factors, social context and the cultural aspects of local communities. Thus, understanding male and female farmers’ knowledge may promote the development of seed systems that are sustainable and responsive to farmers’ needs and capacities.
