The majority of the farmers in the rural Global South continue to depend directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. Despite the fact that women account for almost half of the world ’ s farmers, they face gender-speci fi c challenges such as deeply rooted cultural and social norms that limit their access to land, assets, fi nancial markets, agricultural training, and information. Using semi-structured interviews with farmers in the Eastern Gangetic Plains, this study investigates how necessity is becoming one of the major drivers in the bending of agricultural gender norms. The study investigates the connections between feminist political ecology and agricultural technology production frameworks in order to comprehend the implications of technology adoption and in fl uences on gender norms in communities. Women ’ s participation in agriculture was found to be heavily in fl uenced by social and cultural barriers, and they were frequently subjected to social criticism for breaking the systemic gender norms. This paper emphasizes on the growing pattern of bending gender norms with recommendations for increasing women ’ s participation and scope in future agriculture development initiatives through policies and interventions that emphasize gender equity.

Smallholder farmers in Northern Ghana regularly face shocks, challenging the sustainability of their farms and livelihoods. Di ff erent farm households and household members may be di ff erently a ff ected and respond with di ff erent coping strategies. We combined whole-farm modelling and farmer consultations to investigate the vulnerability, bu ff er and adaptive capacity of three farm types in Northern Ghana towards severe climate, economic and social shocks. We further assessed intra-household di ff erences in respective risk mitigation and coping strategies. Our model results indicate that the drought shock would most severely a ff ect all farm types, drastically reducing their operating pro fi ts and soil organic matter balance. The medium resource endowed farm was most a ff ected by shocks, but all farm types could enhance their capacity to recover by adopting technology packages for sustainable intensi fi cation. Gendered coping strategies included livestock sales, post-harvest storage, activating social networks, rice processing and the collection, processing and sales of wild nuts and fruits. Farmers reported to aim at becoming more resilient by increasing their herd size and expanding their farmland, thereby risking to increase rather than reduce the pressure on natural resources. New questions arise concerning thecarryingcapacityoflocalecosystemsandresilienceatcommunityandlandscapelevel
