英文文献：Beyond a unitary household measure: Does Gender matter in Legume Seed Systems among Smallholder Farmers?-超越单一的家庭措施:在豆科种子系统中，小农户的性别重要吗?本文采用非单一家庭模式分析肯尼亚鸽豆种子的主要渠道

英文文献摘要：
We employ a non-unitary household model to analyze the main Pigeonpea seed channels in Kenya. The paper is based on a household survey conducted on 500 randomly selected households within three counties of Eastern Kenya. The study sites are based on the distance from the main trading center (county headquarters) which informs agro business infrastructure. We assess the participation in seed channels with regards to joint plots, women plots and male plots for Pigeonpeas legumes. More than half of the Pigeonpea plots (53%) in the sample are managed jointly by men and women; while around 10% are managed entirely by women. There were very few plots (0.2%) managed by men alone. The main legumes seed sources are own saved seeds and cereal stockists. There is very limited sourcing from the certified seed channel (10%), the certified seeds from agrovets were only acquired for the joint plots only. Using a multinomial logistic regression, we analyze the factors influencing the choice of Pigeonpea seed channels, encompassing characteristics of the wife of the household head. More educated wives and wives with high exposure to extension services were more likely to access seed from the agrovets; these variables were however not significant for the male head. Other significant determinants were total livestock unit, distance to the source of seed, amount of seed required, location of the household, and occupation. We conclude that targeting women farmers with knowledge and capacity building on the advantages of using certified seeds for legumes has the potential to enhance adoption of legumes in Eastern Kenya.

本文基于肯尼亚东部三个县随机选取500户家庭进行的家庭调查。研究地点基于从主要贸易中心(县总部)到农业商业基础设施的距离。我们评估了种子渠道的参与情况，包括种植豇豆的联合地块、女性地块和男性地块。样本中一半以上(53%)的鸽子豆田由男性和女性共同管理;而大约10%的公司完全由女性管理。只有很少的地块(0.2%)是由男人单独管理的。豆类种子的主要来源是自己储存的种子和谷物仓库。从经认证的种子渠道获得的种子非常有限(10%)，从农兽医获得的认证种子仅用于联合地块。摘要运用多元logistic回归分析了影响鸽豆种子渠道选择的因素，并结合户主妻子的特点进行了分析。受教育程度高的妻子和接受推广服务程度高的妻子更有可能从农兽医那里获得种子;然而，这些变量对男性头部不显著。其他重要的决定因素包括牲畜总数、到种子来源的距离、所需种子数量、家庭地点和职业。我们的结论是，将知识和能力建设与使用认证豆科种子的优势相结合，有可能提高肯尼亚东部豆科作物的使用率。
