Gender biases in research and practice result in policies, programmes and interventions that are based on an incomplete understanding of local knowledge systems, and particularly of women's knowledge. This review of over 250 articles, books and chapters explores the complex, culturally specific and dynamic relationship between gender and agroecological knowledge, and underscores the central role both rural men and women play in managing biologically diverse, anthropogenic landscapes. Gender relations and norms, including the gender division of rights and responsibilities spatially, temporally and taskwise critically influence the acquisition and adaptation of local agroecological knowledge. Local knowledge varies across not only genders, but also other axes of social differentiation such as age and ethnicity, which intersect to shape the ways individuals, households and communities interact with their environment. Women and men may have different knowledge about the same or different things, and different ways of organizing and transmitting their knowledge. Although gendered spheres of knowledge are distinct, they are also shared, interwoven and complementary; and are neither fixed nor separable. Understanding local knowledge systems requires recognizing the distinctiveness, overlaps and interdependence of gendered knowledge repertoires. Current socio-economic trends are causing rapid shifts in local agroecological knowledge systems and resource management practices, and interrupting inter-generational knowledge transfers. Recognizing and valuing both women's and men's agroeocological knowledge(s) is crucial to preserve this (adaptive and evolving) body of knowledge, the cultures in which it is embedded and the agroecosystems it contributes to sustaining.Item Putting gender on the map(Book Chapter, 2016-12-31) Pfeifer, CatherineItem Good data, smart analysis, meaningful conclusions: Towards a gender analysis framework(Book Chapter, 2016-12-31) Poole, Elizabeth J.; Ndiwa, Nicholas N.; Mmbone, MildredItem A FEAST for women and men: Genderizing a feed-assessment tool(Book Chapter, 2016-12-31) Lukuyu, Ben A.; Kinati, Wole; Nasrin, Sultana; Mulema, Annet A.Item Including gender equity in a survey tool for rural households(Book Chapter, 2016-12-31) Wijk, Mark T. van; Hammond, James; Fraval, Simon; Ritzema, Randall S.; Bolliger, Adrian M.; Long, Chau T.M.Item Gender-responsive participatory research for social learning and sustainable forest management(Journal Article, 2017-01-02) Elias, Marlène; Jalonen, R.; Fernández, M.; Grosse, A.Item Global gender and environment outlook(Book, 2016) Seager, J.; Bechtel, J.; Bock, S.; Dankelman, I.; Fordham, M.; Gabizon, S.; Thuy Trang, N.; Perch, L.; Qayum, S.; Roehr, U.; Schoolmeester, T.; Steinbach, R.; Watts, M.; Wendland, C.; Aguilar, L.; Álvarez, I.; Araújo, K.; Basnett, B.S.; Bauer, J.; Bowser, G.; Caterbow, A.; Corendea, C.; Donners, A.; Dutta, S.; Halle, S.; halainen, M.; Ismawati, Y.; Joshi, D.; Kiwala, L.; Kolbeinsdottir, L.; van Koppen, BarbaraItem Gender responsive policy formulation and budgeting in Tanzania: do plans and budgets match?(Brief, 2016-12-20) Ampaire, Edidah L.; Acosta, Mariola; Kigonya, Ritah; Kyomugisha, Sylvia; Muchunguzi, Perez; Jassogne, Laurence T.P.The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women has been ratified by more countries than any other UN convention (Gabizon, 2016). The United Republic of Tanzania is one such country that hopes to fully utilize its human resources, both men and women, for socio-economic development. It is recognized that the continued marginalization of women constitutes a major obstacle to rapid socio-economic development of the country (MCDGC, 2005). The United Republic of Tanzania–through the Ministry of Community Development, Gender and Children–has prioritized gender equality through different instruments: the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania was amended in 2005 to increase women’s participation in the National Parliament and Local Authorities; the Women and Gender Development Policy of 2000 puts more emphasis on women in development, and the National Strategy for Gender Development was intended to promote gender equality and equity. Despite these developments, challenges still remain, as demonstrated by Tanzania’s low ranking (123rd out of 149 countries) on the 2013 Gender Inequality Index (UNDP, 2015).Item Towards gender responsive policy formulation and budgeting in the agricultural sector: Opportunities and challenges in Uganda(Brief, 2016-12-20) Acosta, Mariola; Ampaire, Edidah L.; Kigonya, Ritah; Kyomugisha, Sylvia; Jassogne, Laurence T.P.Achieving economic growth while reducing poverty in an equitable manner demands that governments in Sub-Saharan Africa commit actions and resources to address gender inequalities, even more so under a changing climate which is expected to widen social inequalities (Dankelman, 2012). Internationally, the UN asserts that achieving gender equality, development and peace must be supported by explicit budgetary allocation to targeted activities to ensure gender equality at all scales (OSAGI, 2001). Over the past two decades, Uganda has advanced gender equality and empowerment of women. Uganda’s commitment to promote gender equality and equity was confirmed by enacting the National Gender Policy (1997, revised in 2007). Other components of the political and legal efforts to tackle gender inequality include (i) the 1995 Constitution of Uganda in articles 32 (3 & 4); (ii) the Equal Opportunities Act (2007); (iii) the Public Finance Management Act (2015); and (iv) the National Development Plan II (2015/16-2019/20). However, despite all these initiatives, effective gender mainstreaming as a strategy for addressing gender inequalities remains a big challenge, as manifested by Uganda’s Gender Inequality Index of 0.538, ranking 122 out of 155 countries in the 2014 index (UNDP, 2015).Item Making gender integration more robust: Coaching livestock and fish projects on gender(Video, 2016-11-21) Pyburn, RhiannonInterview with Rhiannon Pyburn (Royal Tropical Institute) for the book "A different kettle of fish? Gender integration in livestock and fish research": http://hdl.handle.net/10568/76684Item Moving away from gender blind tools: Engendering the livestock feed assessment tool(Video, 2016-11-21) Lukuyu, Ben A.The “FEAST” livestock feed-assessment tool has been widely promoted and adopted, but as time passed the research team started receiving feedback. They were told that the tool was gender-blind. So the researchers adapted the tool to measure gender-related issues. Pretesting showed that the tool had missed a lot of important information – on roles, problems, preferences, etc. The team also reviewed the process of gathering data and checking its accuracy (for example, making separate groups of men and women). The tool has improved tremendously, but it now takes double the time to apply. The researchers want to keep the tool acceptable and popular while making it better at reflecting gender realities.

One is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; it assesses the environmental imapcts of development projects. The researchers ask local stakeholders to contribute in various stages of the process, analysis and recommendations. They now consider gender issues in this work. A second grant, from the UK Department for International Development is looking at gender equity and dynamics. The research team is also trying to develop a framework that captures social equity and gender dimensions at the landscape level.
