Pages 7-25 in Karen Gwinn Wilkins, Redeveloping communication for social change: theory, practice, and power. Rowman and Littlefield Publishers, Inc., Lanham, Maryland. 216 pages.
12 pages., Online via Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)., Findings showed that women smallholders' uptake was affected by limited access to credit, extension, restricted membership in cooperatives and water user associations, lack of access or user rights to land, skill training, information, and restricted mobility. Authors suggested that expanding off-farm diversification and rural employment opportunities through changing the land tenure system, which is currently state-owned, are essential to enhance women smallholders' access to land and other agricultural inputs.
