| Summary: | Mechanization is regarded as a key tool in the empowerment of women in agriculture.
Mechanization is often associated with an increase in farmers’ income and time available to invest in alternative economic activities.
Evidence suggests a limited but positive impact of mechanization on women’s agricultural productivity.
Evidence on the specific benefits of mechanization for women and its different impacts on women and men farmers remains inadequate. |
