Gender is crucial for research on forages. We need to look at at gender aspects of forage production, such as labour-conservation techniques that may affect women and youth the most. Women and youth may have opportunities in feed processing and in forage-seed production. We also need to understan...

Catherine Pfeifer took up the challenge of integrating gender into the maps she produced. Starting with an economics model and major gender concepts, she performed a factor analysis on published data, which resulted in six factors or “gender contexts” in Africa. These maps can be used for assessi...
