Farmers of the Future: the Challenges of Feminised Agriculture in India

新自由主义经济政策正在从根本上改变印度农村的社会面貌，导致严重的农业危机。农业变化加剧了贫穷男女在以下方面的不平等后果：生产(劳动、保有权)；生计和粮食安全；获得和拥有土地和水等资产以及获得农业创新和机构的机会。这个多尺度项目调查了印度转型经济中农业女性化的原因和后果，以了解在不同的社会经济和文化背景以及农业生态地区的社区和家庭中性别角色和关系是如何被重塑的。

Neoliberal economic policies are fundamentally transforming the social landscapes of rural India, causing a deep agrarian crisis. The agrarian changes accentuate the unequal consequences for poor women and men in relation to: production (labour, tenure); livelihood and food security; access to and ownership of assets such as land and water and access to agricultural innovations and institutions. This multiscalar project investigates the causes and consequences of feminisation of agriculture in India’s transitioning economy in order to understand how gender roles and relations are being re-shaped in communities and households in diverse socioeconomic and cultural contexts and agro-ecological areas.
