About

The Gender in Agriculture Sourcebook presents a rich compilation of experiences, some of them ongoing, in which agricultural projects have incorporated gender-related components or adapted their operations to allow for gender variables and engage issues that affect men and women differently. It was produced jointly by the World Bank, the FAO (FAO) of the United Nations , and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), drawing from the operations of these three agencies. It was released on October 8, 2008. The Gender in Agriculture Sourcebook describes the very often great practical consequences for the respective potentials of women and men as agricultural producers. The experiences chronicled capture a rich blend of hopeful innovations and cautionary lessons about the importance of avoiding the pitfalls of “gender-neutral” operations in areas in which gender issues are a salient variable in agricultural production – namely in the large majority of rural settings in low-income countries where agriculture remains a major engine of economic growth. Other lessons emerge from projects in middle income developing countries.

Structure of the Book

The Sourcebook covers 16 modules including:

  1. Food Security
  2. Policy and Governance
  3. Rural Finance
  4. Land Policy and Administration
  5. Agricultural Markets
  6. Agricultural Water Management
  7. Agricultural Innovation and Education
  8. Agricultural Labor
  9. Rural Infrastructure
  10. Natural Resource Management
  11. Disaster and Post-Conflict Management
  12. Crop Agriculture
  13. Fisheries and Aquaculture
  14. Livestock
  15. Forestry
  16. Monitoring and Evaluation.

More than 100 authors and reviewers contributed to the production of the sourcebook, which continues after the print release of the publication. An on-line edition will serve as a “living document” to which additional chapters will be added. Post print chapters already include a note on property and inheritance rights among widows and children in households affected by HIV/AIDS/AIDS in Women and African Economic Development, and profiles of project activities in El Salvador and labor legislation in Chile , among others.
