Gender and NutritionAssessing Women’s Decision-Making for Teff Farming
The aim of this study was to identify which
gender factors influence decision-making on
the adoption of best practices (BPs) in teff
farming households in the West Gojjam region
of Amhara regional state in Ethiopia.
To this end,
we carried out three rounds of a quantitative
household survey with a final sample of 555
households, where one adult man and one
adult woman were interviewed in each round.
The surveys were complemented by 9 focus
group discussions and 12 in-depth interviews
with farmers, and 4 key informant interviews
with development agents and teff crop experts.
