英文文献摘要:
We examine the role of gender in adoption and diffusion of orange sweet potato, a biofortified staple food crop being promoted as a strategy to increase dietary intakes of vitamin A among young children and adult women in Uganda. As an agricultural intervention with nutrition objectives, intrahousehold gender dynamics regarding decisions about crop choice and child feeding practices may play a role in adoption decisions. Also, most households access sweet potato vines through informal exchange, suggesting again that gender dimensions of networks may be important to diffusion of the crop. We use data from an experimental impact evaluation of the introduction of OSP in Uganda to study how female bargaining power, measured by share of land and nonland assets controlled by women, affect adoption and diffusion decisions.
我们研究了性别在柑橘红薯的采用和传播中的作用。柑橘红薯是一种生物强化的主食作物,在乌干达被推广作为一种策略,以增加儿童和成年妇女对维生素a的膳食摄入量。作为一项具有营养目标的农业干预,关于作物选择和儿童喂养做法的家庭内性别动态可能在收养决定中发挥作用。此外,大多数家庭通过非正式交换获得甘薯藤,这再次表明,网络的性别维度可能对作物的扩散很重要。我们使用了在乌干达引入OSP的实验影响评估数据,以研究女性的议价能力(由女性控制的土地和非土地资产份额衡量)如何影响收养和扩散决策。
