The men who feed the world? Putting masculinities on the agenda for crop breeding research for development por Arff Tarjem, Ida, Tufan, Hale Ann

“…In this Perspective piece, we present a theoretically informed hypothesis of crop breeding organizations as representing spaces where masculinities associated with rurality, management, and science and technology come together in ways that may marginalize women and gender diverse individuals, including in intersection with sexuality, race, ethnicity, and disability.
